    HI everyone,
    Thanks to ferret it was bought to my attention that my account has been hacked. I thought that I have recified this but it apears that is has happened again.
    PLEASE DO NOT OPEN ANY MESSAGES FROM ME WITHOUT A SUBJECT. (for those that have my private email address this also applies)

    No good Belzi, do you mean your email account or your Forum account or both???

    The only way they can hack into your forum account would be if they found your password...

    Hi Belzi

    Get something like Norton which I have which has a Identity Safe which stores all of your Logons and Passwords which are invisible.
    Also blocks Unsafe Sites and emails containing viruses
    Not free but worth every cent

    Yeah Belzi, got another one this morning, exactly the same.
    You need to delete all of your email contacts from your address book and use a new password.
    You have probably done all that anyway.
    The reason they are being sent is because they have the list of your contacts.
    This could go on for ages, and no one should click on the link that is in the email.
    Best to start a whole new email A/c.
    Cheers, the ferret.

    HI Andy, both forum and private - I have changed my forum password and email and they are now different passwords so hopefully won't happen again.

    Are the emails you receiving from my jpersonal or forum email account???

    I have kept some email address as I get some important emails there - after I have changed them I will change email providers
