If you have gmail or Yahoo email read this

[Ron Dickey]

Not to long ago many of these accounts were taken,

CHANGE YOUR EMAIL PASS WORD NOW IF YOU CAN

They have many email account names, and pass words
They will change your pass word and take you name and will send those emails to your friends saying you need money.

I have one such friend and he had my address in his address book.

IF YOU HAVE A EMAIL ACCOUNT DO NOT KEEP ADDRESSES IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK, but instead KEEP IT IN A PAPER ADDRESS BOOK.
There may be programs that you can get that will keep those addresses and require a password to get them out.
if you have a Mac it will remember the addresses and you will not need to add to address book
So far I have one a toyota car, my friend who got it taken some how lost all his money in Holland ( I called him at his house that day and he said someone took his email address.) And I got a letter from someone I do not know who wants me to look at an attachment..... they all went in the Junk pile.

Keep your self safe and your friends.
