Fellow POA Members, It is possible someone has a virus on their computer. Personally I have received the same e-mail at my Yahoo address from 3 different POA members in the past 24 hours! It has 2 attachments on it which I have not opened and deleted the mails. The first time it was from CTProwler. I wrote Chuck asking if he did send the mail, and his answer was he didn't remember mailing me, but said he mails alot of people so it could have been possible. I have never received a personal mail from Chuck previously. Then tonight I found the same mail from CMBlockhus and a person named ramirez. So thought I'd post this info in the event there is a virus floating on someone's computer and mailing out to POA members addresses. Don't mean to cause alarm but be on the lookout. By the way..there is no title to the mail..just "re:" with an attachment icon. Hope I am wrong but you can never be too careful. Anyone else get a mail like this yet??? Jim |

Jim In the last two weeks I got a e-mail from Prowlrman & CMBlockhus that had a virus in it. Someone using the POA members addresses. Virus checker did its job, just pressed the delete button.JMO |

Jim - I get those types of emails,,,showing the names of people from this forum. Usually the subject line or the attachment doesn't make sense, so I delete them. They are not really coming from the person showing up, just generated from an infected computer somewhere. When in doubt, delete. |

Yep, got plenty of those during the past couple of weeks ! Not suprised really since our email adresses are posted in our profile and easy accessible ! Probably best way would be to PM a member to let them know that you wrote them an email !? IMO ------------------ |
