email problemo

Postby Knives » Tue Dec 14, 2004 10:55 am

Me and my friends have been getting emails sent to us saying that the sender hates us. The weird thing is that my friends are the one it says are sending them. I know my friends are not sending these to me. I think someone has hacked into our accounts. Has this ever happened to anyone here? I really need help.

You can also spoof that kind of thing verrrry easily. Spammers do it all the time, and there's not a lot you can do to stop it.

I just found this out. My friends sister was the one who was sending the emails. My friend had left his email open.
