Title: Chicago Jerry Email
Post by: 454MRW on December 15, 2011, 06:28:32 PM
I just got 2 separate emails from Chicago Jerry with links but no topic in the email. I didn't open them in case Jerrys email was hacked and distributing spam. Anyone else? Jerry, did you send them? It looked like it had a lot of addresses that it was sent to. Mike

i forwarded them back to Jerry explaining to him they might be spam and his email account may have been hi-jacked,

sorry about the spam/virus. i have no clue how that one happened. anyway, i have been in contact with my email provider and i believe that the issue is now resolved. they had locked my account to prevent further spread but it looks like its back to normal now.   chi jer
