| Email Hacked!! If anyone here received an email from me titled: Email from T Evans Don't open it! Just delete it. That was not from me. It was obviously sent to all of my contacts. Grrrr! What jollies do people get doing crap like this? I just don't get it. My password has been changed to a powerful one so hopefully it won't happen again. This is the second time in 5 years that I've had an email account hacked. The last one ran up a $2000 paypal/ebay bill in my name because they used my info from my profile. I had to file a police report and stop it from being put on my credit report but paypal still insists it was me. Identity theft victims get treated like criminals who have to prove it WASN'T them instead of the others proving it WAS them. So aggravating but I got over it and moved on years ago. (can you tell? lol) Anyway, let this be a lesson to everyone, please. Change your passwords often and keep them complicated (letters, caps, small, numbers, special characters if possible).

| I probably miss a lot of important info because I open very few emails and I almost never click a link in an email...

| Very annoying! I'm sorry this happened to you. The bad guys are always busy on the internet, sadly.
