someone sending spam in my name

Jan 01, 2009 3 Replies

If any of you have received spam in my name I apologize. Please let me know if you have received any. All week I have been receiving a notice that emails I sent are not deliverable. My techie son just looked at them and explained that someone is using my name. So far I am receiving less than 10 notices a day which he says is mild. Hope this hasn't caused a problem or soiled my name.

I had that happen last summer Susan. I was getting hundreds and hundreds of bounced messages as well as some answers. I did a little searching on my server site and somehow my something had gotten reset...but not by me. It has all stopped now....maybe you can wait it out if you're only getting a few a day.

We've had that happen a few times. Lately we've also been getting phishing/trojan/spam emails with subjects purporting to be email bounces. The giveaway, so far, is that they are "from" the address they are sent to.

So far it has stopped. I just worry that my name is being misrepresented. Polly suggested that I no longer use my real email address on this news group. Probably a good idea.
