when you signed up for the yahoo e-mail or whatever, did you have to give your name?

if so then they will have gotten it from there
if not then board all your windows up, lock the dorr, and calm yourself down with a marmalade injection.

then call the cops.

flyboy 28 has a point, ALROT. I occasionally checked out the SimV forums a long while before I ever registered. Although I've never directly provided my actual names within the forums, themselves, there have been some times when I gave enough clues as to what they are. You'd amaze me if you don't at least know my initials! :o
I hope this doesn't add to your headaches. 8)

Every now and again I do a Google Search for me...
...and there I am.... :o...!

Me, and my name are on the Internet for ever more...
...for everyone to see... :'(...!

...very scary... :o...!

Paul... 8)...!

P.S. A lot of E-Mail Spam you receive, using your name/mail address, etc, is obtained via various Forums which you use, and post comments on...;)...!

The Internet is constantly scanned by arse'oles attempting to give you grief....Trust me... ;)...!

Paul...50-100 Spam messages per day, every day, using my E-mail address... ;)...!

One good tip...
Never, EVER, post your E-mail address on a Forum, or Profile....
If your Mates require it then E-Mail it to them... ;)...!

The latest thing I got, is this letter from Mr. Doug Kaku. Apparently Doug want's to borrow my bank account, and put in $5,000,000.00 [Five Million US Dollars], because somebody is after him, and he needs the help of a foreigner.

LOL!! ;D


I love this stuff!

I've got you all beat.

In the last year I have had 3 uncles, 2 aunts, and 7 nephews pass away, all leaving me anywhere from 5 to 25 million dollars US each. They have all worked for a large oil company , were very bad drivers, and worked in either India or Nigeria.

I have sent all of the details they requested and when I get the money I will host a party for all.

Oh and by the way.....

did you know that pigs fly too? ;D ;D

I have several e-mail boxes, most at Yahoo, all a few or more years old, all completed unspammed.

>Discontinue use of your current boxes if they are getting spammed.

>Take out several new e-mail addresses for different mail sources: One for online purchases, one for personal business if any, one for friends, etc., and one expendible one for miscellaneous stuff.    
 
>Make sure friends don't send "chained" e-mails with yours and others addresses showing.  

>Don't be curious: don't open any e-mails from unknown sources.  

>Don't give out your e-mail addresses to anyone or any company that you don't know or trust.  

>Don't display your e-mail addresses anywhere, even within trusted websites.

>Use that miscellaneous box for odd stuff just in case

>Lastly, don't reply to spam, just report it if your e-mail provider has a spot for that (Yahoo does).  Sure, it feels good to send an e-mail back telling them where to go, but doing that tells them you've got an active mail box.  They don't care if you curse at them, they just want to know if your still there.  Spammers share info between themselves.  One reply back will multiply.

By the way, spammers don't get your addresses from Yahoo or trusted companies.  Your information is held confidential.  Trusted organizations such as Yahoo are on our side, not the spammers side.

well when your emails are like mine

Alex@germainphoto.com

and

ramos@drumlineramos.com

(and god forbid they get both emails :P)

You tend to get your name posted on the emails. also, these spammers do some research (mabye via a program) into the free emails, unless your name is in the email itself.

now thats why i 95% only post my last name.
