Dear Everyone
I just wanted to say hello again after a quite a few months away. Not been good but its a long story. My topic today is........My email was hacked into sometime ago and somehow alot of things were sent from it...i.e. some relegious stuff???!!!??? Anyway someone on here kept emailing me. posing as a friend but quite obviously after more than friendship. I didnt reply to his messages as it was obviuos what he was trying to do...but after that my email was hacked. I'm not accusing him for that at all but I was really upset to receive a horrible email from him cause he had recieved one of these bogus emails from me. Those of you that knew me when I was last on here will definately be able to guess who this man was as he was obviously making a play for me. Apparently he has been in trouble with NRAS before , although I dont know what for.
Any way steam over and I hope to speak to some of the lovely people on here again
Linda

Oh Linda - I'm so very sorry to hear this. Something you definitely don't need on top of RA.

Take care

Love Jeanxxxxx

Have just logged on yo see all your emails and it was such a lovely surprise!!!! I felt a bit awful after I had wrote about my grip, but its all true and I don't see why I should put up with it. Anyway Amanda......yes I think you know who it is!!!!!
Looking forward to chatting again and Hi to Annie B as well as everyone else x x x x

Lyn has a point about new members possibly being put off. It would be best if we all reported anything untoward to NRAS, in the hope that they can take some action.

Hi John

The email I received was extremely unpleasant and carried with it a virus (removing it has damaged my hard drive which now has to be replaced). Please, if you know who emailed you pass it on to NRAS who can take appropriate action. This has to stop but it unfortunately seems to be getting worse!

Members (and NRAS too!) benefit from reading all our contributions and it would be sad to think that you did not feel comfortable posting because of the odd person who spoils it for all.

Hope you are doing well John,

Hi Lyn

Mine also contained a virus but luckilly my anti-virus software detected it. I have the software to track down the source of e-mails back to his ISP. Unfortunately I do not have either the time or patience to do it. Who ever this person is does have a reasonable if rudimentary knowledge of computers and software. The usual thing I do with malicious e-mails is to bounce the e-mail (complete with virus) back to the sender. This I did.

The NRAS are aware of these e-mails but in reality are powerless to stop e-mails being sent direct to the receivers home e-mail. They did their best to lessen the problems by removing the personal message facility.

Who ever is sending these messages really do need help. They are very sad attention seekers.
