They GOT me good!

In the past few days, several of my friends and acquaintances, for which I had their email addresses listed in the address book associated with my imansgodmom10@yahoo.com account have received spam, and who knows what else, from an "unknown-to-me" source. Evidently someone had gotten into my account and stole my address book information!Today I totally terminated that Yahoo account (that I have had for over 6 years!) and sent an email to everyone explaining DO NOT open anything received from that yahoo email address. I don't give a hoot if it's only harmless spam, it is criminal!These jerks are not American and run some questionable electronics-related business. AVOID THEM!!!!!

Here is the information on these criminals: * eledz.com * tom-ele.com * tom-ele@hotmail.com * eledz-trade@hotmail.com.

I intend to pursue this as best I can. Surely, there are some watch groups who need to and would like to know of this, not to mention, the government agencies pursuing this type of Internet activity. If you have any ideas, suggestions, advice, by all means, LET ME KNOW!!! I am angry and embarrassed and violated! I will NOT take it lightly, believe me!

By the way, I have a blog called http://websitestoavoid.blogspot.com - any and all contributions are more than welcome - I have this Best Security Tips widget on that blog site!

OMG what happened to this post, fellas? I didn't put all that code crap in it! It just appeared after I corrected some spelling errors and typos! Houston, we have a problem! I don't want readers to think I'm an idiot - can you help me fix it please!
