Title: phishing email - PLEASE READ!
Post by: ChrisW on July 18, 2010, 11:56:43 am

My yahoo account has been compromised! If you receive an email from me re an apple i phone, DO NOT OPEN IT! IT WILL EMAIL ALL YOUR CONTACTS THEN DELETE THEM!!!!

The only reason I noticed this had happened, approx 3am today, was several 'out of office' auto replies.

Best regards

ChrisW

Small world! I got phished on my yahoo mail the other week re an advert for viagra :) . My system sent the addy to everyone I had ever emailed, not just my contact list!
Bit awkward for me as there were a number of prospective employers who got it too :(

Look on the bright side... it might help you beat off the stiff opposition.  :D
