Thanks, Pat! What a mess. I had nearly 1,000 contacts in my AOL address
book. So, the notes and bounces have been rolling in. Currently, I'm
still being "moderated" with the USGenWeb Lists, to protect the other
users.
I don't remember clicking on anything! But somehow they got into my
email.
Take care, everyone.

It's all over the place right now, and affecting more than just AOL.
I've had it pop up
on several member-only lists in the last few months.
I wonder if it's in the same family as the Facebook bug that posts a
message with a link
from a member account. At least one trusting friend is bound to click
on the link, and
it's off and running again!

Dear Maureen,
Someone is/has done the same thing to me too. Just yesterday I
received an e-mail
from
my sister to the effect that the link I sent was for sex pills and to
please stop
sending any further to anyone. (Someone used my e-mail address and
account without my
knowledge or permission). People must think I';m a pervert, At
least my sister knows
better. Hang in there, this too shall pass. I'm contacting a
computer person tomorrow.
Hasta luego!!!
Love,
Sharon

Hello,
It appears that someone is hacking my AOL account and sending links
to friends
and colleagues
on my email list.
Please do not click on the links. I apologize and thank you for your
patience!
