    How can I prevent a spammer using my email address and sending **** out that looks like I'm doing it. :mad:

    I heard today from a fellow member that he received spam from me. HRP

    That's called s****ing... and that's not something that is caused by the HAMB or from you being on it...

    Happens to me too... ****s.

    Even worse when you get a stupid email that looks like you sent to yourself.

    Danny, I think it happens to a lot of folks that are "on-line" for long periods of time..The 'Hackers" find your email address and access your email account to send **** out and not use their own email address..It has happened to me also

    The fix is to change your email p***word. That won't prevent it from happening again. Make the p***word long and hard.
