Someone Hacked my Email



Just wanted to let you guys all know that someone has hacked my AOL email address (LJS65) and has been sending out spam emails - some of them have to do with Canadian Pharmacies and other retail shops. 

I hope none of you have been getting any of these emails thinking they are from me and gotten any type of virus or spyware or other crap.  I have contacted AOL and they suggested I change my password which I did, but I am still having problems.  I really don't want to change my email address as I have had this one for at least 20 years.  I may be left with no other option.

So, if you receive an email from my AOL address (LJS65) and it appears to be some sort of sale from a retail store, I have NOT sent it to you so PLEASE do not open any links within the email.

I am sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused anyone already and I hope to have the situation fixed soon.  Thanks for your patience.

Until next time..... Lorie

That happened to me about six weeks ago and google turned me off.
I had to jump through hoops to get back on.
