This morning I found, in my INBOX, an email purporting to be from me, "DOESTERR", dated yesterday. The subject line was "Wife Out of Control". Whaa?? I didn't remember sending such a message, either to myself or to anyone else. So I looked in the SEND directory, and no such message had been sent. The email as received contained nothing, but there was an attachment, 8.3 KB in size. I absolutely will not download it. I assume that my email name was spoofed and that attachment was sent to some unknown list. That, or my name was one of the members of a spam list, set up to show the name of the recipient also as the originator. WARNING! Any emails purporting to be from me are probably fake,and malware. If you know otherwise that I'm planning to send you an email, it just MIGHT be what it claims to be, but if there is no text to the email, and only an attachment, DON'T OPEN IT! Dave Oesterreich
