It seems my e-mail address is being used by someone else
Message #1 Posted by Vieira, Luiz C. (Brazil) on 8 May 2002, 6:28 p.m.

Hi, people;

please, forgive-me you all (mostly Dave) if any of you received any strange e-mail supposely sent by me. As many of you post your e-mails and we are serious enough respecting this "sanctuary" (no pun intended at all), many others can get in and read everything in here.

I received the following e-mail today: 

I got a blank e-mail from you. Was it related to my search for an HP 48SX
calculator
or the HP32SII I have for sale?

I never sent that that e-mail. At first, I suspected a virus, but I did not have the receiver e-address in my computer. Coincidence: he had announced some personal interest about HewPack calculators (I don't know if it was at Museum's Classified Ads), and I was not aware about it, but my name (and eventualy my e-mail address) has been around here.

This is also to let you know about it.

Cheers. And be care.

Yes, we have some... but the best suited for this is:

"Perguntou, tomou!" (~ you asked, you took!)

Best regards.

Luiz, This can be a Klez virus - not at your computer. Klez sends email from a infected computer, signed with entries from this computer's address list. In other words, some infected computer has your address listed and Klez used it. Abraços Renato Toi

Thanks, Ty;

I scanned my net (four computers) and no one is infected by Klez. Fortunately.

Cheers and thanks.
