[Histonet] RE: Akemi - Urgent!

[Rene J Buesa]

Akemi:
And that was your second mistake. Why the server, in this case Yahoo, would like your password and your birth day when that is not originally needed?
I NEVER EVER answer anything even if I am told that my life depends on it.
Never answer a request for information of any kind. If it a legitimate request they will call you on the phone.

Hi All,
I received an e-mail and an early morning call from my friend Helen Hedor this morning stating that she received a e-mail scam from me stating; "FISHING FOR MONEY".  I did in NO WAY send this e-mail!  Please do not in anyway answer or send money to the bogus e-mail scam which was sent in my name..  THIS IS SCARY!  
I don't know what has happened, but I came home last night and my yahoo account sent me an e-mail which stated that my e-mail has been compromised for scam purposes, and if I didn't answer the questions below I would have my account frozen.  I immediately replied and answered the questions, but then I thought, what if this is a scam to extract personal information, so I copied the the questionnaire and sent it to the yahoo alert center.  I received a reply that they would check into it.  This morning I couldn't get into my e-mail account so I had to jump a bunch of hoops and reset my password.  I hope none of you have this happen to you.
The Yahoo Account warning stated: "Yahoo Mail has discovered series of illegal attempts on your Yahoo Account from bad Ip Location and will shut your account as it has been flagged as a spam account. Filling Correct Information Carefully and Sending to Yahoo Alert Center:"
I hope this was legitimate!  The information they wanted was my user name, password and birthday.
Sincerely,Akemi Allison-Tacha BS, HT(ASCP)HTL

Akemi Allison-Tacha - email me immediately, please.  I think you are
being scammed and I don't want to email you directly.
