Hey Adept, I started getting spam emails from you. And it looks like your account got hacked or something. I've seen the spam types before and it comes from people with their email account compromised and the spam bot or spammer got a hold of your address book.
You might want to figure out fixing that and changing your password.
Scan for viruses too.

| Most likely its a hacked account. Or they got your password from a keylogger. Hopefully your computer didn't get installed with a keylogger. |

| Everybody. Sometimes, when it comes to the safety of your computer, it would be a good idea to change your password every 3-6 months to keep your password protected from persistant infiltrators. Also, if you go anywhere else, try to refrain from have similar, or the same passwords because if they find one password, then they know them all. Like if you have a simple yahoo password and it was cracked, and the same password was on your bank of america account, that could lead to all sorts of trouble. |

| If you have the same passwords, it's advisable to choose a separate password for your real important things. Another idea is to make totally random and gibberish passwords for each thing and write them down on a piece of paper and keep it safe. |

I don't think I deleted anything. I don't have you blocked or anything.
Try sending it again. Make sure you use the email address listed in the contact us and I can try to look for it. |
