Re: Hi <--- Its NOT ME !!!!

OMG! You have got to be freaking kidding me!!! This is the very first
time I even heard about all this... I had not even seen msg 2441, and
when I read it, I just about freaked out... OMG! What does someone say
about something like this????? I had NO IDEA whatsoever!!!!

You know what is really freaky about this? I am the moderator/owner of
three lists on Yahoo, and a member of about 10 other lists... This is
the only list I am on that this has happened... I mean, if I were
cursing person, right now, I would be banned from this list... This is
so freaking me out!

I just checked my SENT list, and had not sent any email today (until
now), and plus, I do not have your name, or the list name in my Outlook
address book... This is an obvious ploy or tactic someone is trying to
implicate me in. (It would make a great SEARCH episode -- find the
missing hacker).

There is an alternative answer to this thing... I believe someone is
trying some heavy payback on me....
A few days ago, someone sent an email to the members of one of my email
groups, telling everyone how they could hack into someone's
email/password if they use Yahoo. I sent a reply letter to the group
warning them that the method being used was, in itself, a hack... In
order to "get" the information, the would-be hacker would have to give
away their own user name and password... Voila! Someone has just used
your greed, to get your email address and your password.

No one commented about that reply, but mysteriously, yesterday, I got 6
different emails from 6 "different" sources, each with zip files
attached. I know better than to open ANY zip file, exe, vbs or script
(scr) files sent to me without permission. In doing research on tracking
bogus email, I found out that the headers can be faked. (I would love
to send the headers in a text only email to anyone who can help me track
the sender... Anyone?)

And now, I hear about this....

OMG! This is so incredibly, freaking crazy!!!

I am sorry for anything that might have been caused by my lack of
"protection", and am willing to be moderated if the mods think so...
I would hate for it to come down to this, but I am truly a nice, guy...
I may have a warped sense of humor, but I genuinely do like SEARCH, and
enjoy chatting with others who do...

Again, my apologies... I suppose that is all I can say...
Skip Brown

Hello everyone: I had nothing to do with this latest "Hi" post. We
had this problem back on January 19th in message 2441, where my email
address was spoofed then too. Or it was gotten from someone's
address book or from old posts on someone's hard drive. Luckily
Yahoo stopped posting attachments a few years ago because of strange
malicious virus uploads and similar.

In msg 2447, crayresearch reported that we received a variant of the
Beagle virus from Skip Brown. Might be a good idea for all of us to
do a virus update and scan, which is what I'll be doing. :-)
