Hi all,
I received a response from Yahoo regarding my earlier post. This is the response:
"The sender seems to have forged your email address in the "reply-to"
and/or the "from" field of the message they sent out. Please know that
we are currently aware of this type of spam and are investigating it."
Yes indeed, someone forged my email address. It directs to a store selling imitation Rolex Watches and the like. Uhm, ticked off? You betcha. Especially as I have never heard of this online store and someone obviously picked up my email address and is using it to cover his or her own scruple-lacking butt!
Yes, I did use a hyphen. I read that hyphens are going by the wayside according to this news story but hey, I still like 'em sometimes. They remind me of 3rd grade.
If you are a victim of email forgery as I seem to be, take action. Report it. Do NOT let your email account be sanctioned or deleted due to the actions of others.
I'm Too Tired to Think right now to tell you what to do. I think I'll save that one for my cuppa joe in the morning.
Enjoy the weekend, all, and be well.
