Just got a suspicious email from a "rbielefeld@comcast.net and gt"

I believe it's using a hijacked members name.

Anyone else?

Many of us got that. Ron has been notified but it isn't known if he can read incoming email.

I got it too. I called Ron B and left him a message telling him what's apparently happened.

Yes, me too.

I got hacked badly a couple months ago - and just this week found out that - apparently, for awhile now - my "reply to: " email address showing in the emails has been sabotaged and changed - just one letter so easily missed - and to ymail or gmail rather than the correct yahoo.
I have been emailing a couple friends repeatedly and not getting a response.

I have no idea how to stop this and it's especially ratty this time of year when I'm trying to stay in touch with people.

Yeah, Sandy. I know that you're a nurse.... but I really didn't think that you wanted to sell me Viagra. Thanks for the thought though :wink:

Well, the hackers and hijackers are busy out there. I haven't gotten anything through NPN but did get an email with a pretty genuine looking, short message and a link that switched while loading to take me to the sex drugs page, too. these people need to get a life… Anyway…
