Default O/T PIRATED E-MAIL ADDRESSES

Bruce was kind enough to just inform me that some SOB has pirated my e-mail address, palmettotreasure@aol.com, and my e-mail contacts in PGCA. Be assured that it is not me trying to sell you Canadian Viagra. I found out about it yesterday just before my office computer crashed showing the message "TROJAN HORSE". Please do not open any e-mails that you receive from the above address. I'll let you know on the forum when it's safe to read me again. I have informed the Canadian Consumer Affairs and AOL but as yet have had no response.

Best Regards, George

George, although it may be embarassing from the victim's point of view it is happening more and more these days. The recipient of such e-mails can easily protect himself by simply not opening the attached links or the links that are included in the text of these e-mails. Opening the e-mail sent by someone we know and trust isn't the problem - opening the links, however, is.

George, exactly how much of a better deal is the Canadian Viagra?

Dean: Thanks for the info. I don't know what I did tp percipitate this. I do always delete e-mails from unknown senders. I can't imagine how they did this but be assured, I'm going to get to the bottom of this and if I can find the culprit I may just put a contract on him.

Bill: I have no idea. I'm well beyond the need of it.

Best Regards as Always, George
