What a complete pain. I hope you get it sorted quickly. At least people who know you won't be taken in. It does make you furious though.

BM, I wouldn't respond, I suspect that might somehow get your account open to him and he could infect your contacts too!

I got an e-mail from someone on my garden forum saying that the exact same thing happened to a friend of his...same message! Said it's a common thing.

I hate the idea of having to change e-mail accounts...it would be a nightmare notifying everybody! ....but will do so if I have to. I haven't heard back from Yahoo yet re the problem.

Thanks, Elaine!

I use a hotmail account and it has an option to report phishing scams, I dont know if others have the same facility...

dandysmom · 11-07-2009, 08:02 PM

Yahoo does, and two of the banks I have credit cards with do also; I occasionally get phishing e-mails on the latter and always report them. Still no word fro Yahoo ...

One good thing ... had phone calls from two old friends that I don't talk too very regularly who got the fraudulent message and knew it wasn't me and we had good catch-up chats!

Atleast some good has come out of this Eileen
