nxconnect Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 Keep your eyes open, what it looks like to me is that someone is trying to use your email account to send out emails, which is something you have to verify. Another "trick" they may be playing has to do with pretending that they are sending out email under your name, and then attaching a virus to it, trying to strike your curiosity. I would have a reputable virus checker such as Norton Antivirus, look though your system just to make sure. Its always better to play safe.
