Guest guest Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 I am sorry to have found a suspicious post today. It had no subject and only a link in the text. Clicking on the text led to a link that wanted to 'scan' my computer so I closed that window immediately. The post has been deleted so I hope it won't appear in the Daily Digest, but for those who receive Individual Emails, this may have already been sent to you. The member who's email this came from has been placed back on moderation so this ought not to happen again, but please do be aware as you read emails with links contained. Its entirely possible that this member's email address has been hacked (Yahoo is quite subject to this) which has occurred before. The quickest way to stop this if this happens to anyone here is to change the email address for this group. Sorry for the inconvenience, but such is the facts of using a FREE group site.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Do you notify that member? I ask because my email got hacked a month or so ago and would want to know if anything had been mine. Thanks Sandy I am sorry to have found a suspicious post today.
