Spam from Sandra Larry?

Just got a spam email from someone saying they saw my profile on prince.org, and wanted to

send me a picture. I figure if there was any reason for the person to really contact me, they could've used an org note. Not sure if I should report it to the moderators...just keep an eye out.

So basically the org. has been hacked? If this is the case not only the MODS but also Ben needs to knows like yesterday.

The org didn't necessarily get hacked, but a potental spammer made an account.

In our profiles there is a thing we can click on to email members, I don't remember if it is on or off by default.

They're definately worth keeping an eye on.

There was someone that created an account to contact orgers through their emails.

They have already been banned. If you receive any suspicious org notes forward them to the mods.

I had a similar spam/virus email from a member of a Prince yahoo group on Friday.You have to realize it's not the persons fault, just that their account has been hacked.

1. Change your passwords frequently

2. Make it not Prince related

3. Keep your password to yourself

don't open the link's just delete!
