Hi Everyone just to let you know as a matter of urgency my gmail account has been hacked into by some twat pretending to be me and asking for "juicier pics"
I visited a Myspace link yesterday which must have been a rogue page and now can't access my gmail at all and have reported the problem to gmail!!! .Luckily a friend received an odd message which made no sense and alerted me that the account is being used illegally for fraudalent purposes!!
Please pass this onto anyone who may be affected.
In the meantime you can message me via or on my hotmail address kazbxx AT hotmail.co.uk (remove spaces and change AT to @ sign) but please be wary of any odd messages!
Thanks, Kaz

Did you use the same pass for both gmail and adult work? was it a 'normal' word like say 'puppies' (Guessable) or a strong pass like say 4XiiH&5 ?

I would urge people to be cautious regarding such phishing emails.
There are many going about for Myspace telling you that you have a message or friend request. The url you click on is usually slightly different in that it will start with
http://www1.myspace.com instead of
http://www.myspace.com.
As an extra precautionary measure I do not input any personal details into a site which I have arrived at via an email link.
try and use more than one password too.
I leaned the hard way a few years ago when my naivity lead to my paypal being hacked as a result of a similar phishing email!

Thanks TT4U.
My e-mail address was different but they could have accessed it from my googlemail as I probably hadn't deleted the e-mail originally sent out - uness they are using a key logger? Neither were easy passwords to guess so I think this must be the case.
They have also taken over my hotmail so please do not mail me there.
I am now in an internet cafe having switched all my pc's off and have changed my yahoo so you can get me on kazzy79 AT yahoo.co.uk (no spaces change At to the at sign).
This is a real bugger as I've been in portugal for 2 weeks and have a huge backlog of e-mails I can't access - many of which were work related
If anyone fancies luring them for me and getting an address I would be most appreciative!
Guess I better change this one! Anyone have an e-mail address for admin please?
