You should clarify false emails that *appear* to be from Sadgeezer.com – it’s really easy to fake an email address in the From: line (I’ll demonstrate for anyine who wants to see).
If it makes you feel any better, this is happening to many people with many different domains.

Yep, yep. I have received some that ‘appear’ to be sent from my own websites host server. With variations of my name no less. 😛 ❗ ❗ That sucks! 🙁
Thanks all,
I’ll have to keep an eye out for that & make sure not to open that; in fact, for any posts I do post here, I’ll check them when I get here, that way, if I get anything in my e-mail, I’ll just put in its folder.
Thanks for the helpful advice & I’ll keep my eye out.Posters Unite,
Jhevz 😉I got the same e-mails from another source…..they look legite but I was too lazy to open attachments…..lucky me…..
Most of my emails go straight into thewastebasket. I’m even considering attaching my shredder to my letter box.

LOL! I’ve seen a few people with wastebaskets attached to their mailbox posts for junk mail deliveries.
I had people accuse me of sending them spam after some spammer started using its lists as return addresses as well. Luckily now that I can create 600 email addresses I can make a new one for every place I visit and track down once and for all who is selling my address when they said they wouldn’t.
I always expect everyone to know not to accept attatchments by now. Isn’t it all over the news every time there’s an email outbreak?

Normally if I am sending people attachments, I also send them an email without an attachment telling them that I sent one. I also tell them what the attachment is, so if they get something they are not expecting, they can be suspicious.
Once in a while, I get an attachment I wasn’t expecting. Then I email them and ask, “Hey! whats up?” I do this BEFORE I open the attachment.
