Did you visit that site or any other similar site recently?

Sidney77

no, though i did get the same message from a friend 3 days before

Happened to me too...can;t figure out how exactly. I have a few suspicions:
I logged into my email on either a PC with a keylogger
Or the network it was connected to had a router with hacked DNS settings...

Bloody annoying and worrying - had to change my password for life...

the f***ers got in again and deleted some of my mails

Sometimes if you view those mails from a friend it can act as a trojan and send spam. These emails are very clever and cost the spammers a lot of money. Firstly can you tell me the following:

1. Is your email in hotmail, gmail or something similar or is it a dedicated email like info@durkadurka.com?

2. Have you changed your password since the intial hack?

3. have you deleted these emails permanantly?

4. have you a good antivirus installed?

There's some sort of malware on your pc. Either format it, re-install and then change your passwords, or see if you can remove it with a virus scanner and then change your passwords.

Fusion net;

i did get the mail originally from a friend originally if thats what you mean,

my mail is hotmail, i changed the password after the 2nd time, they seem to have deleted the mails themselves (i wanted to keep one for reporting etc) and my pc has superantispyware

thanks
