Someone is using my email address. How do I stop them from bugging my contacts? - joneso1 - 05-10-2013 03:01 AM

It appears that something weird is going on with yahoo, it seems that random emails are sent to my contacts with bogus links to them. I did not send these emails. I have also received some of these same emails. I receive emails from numerous contacts asking about these emails. This only started since I joined facebook. What can I do?

Change your password!!! before they change it and you can't go on!!! To both your facebook and your email.

if you haven't already, be sure to let your friends know what's going on so they don't get creeped out or annoyed by what they think is you.try to delete your contacts and keep them written down on paper for a while. if that dosen't work....well you could have your friends mark your old address as spam, delete your old email and create a new one... you can easily change your email on facebook, unless you think its facebook that's causing problems, then you could keep it to your old address because you dont really need to use your email for facebook alerts...

Change your yahoo password so they can't get in!

Your account got compromised. First change your password. Account help.http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/acct/in… for just about anything to do with your account. Then run anti Virus and Anti Spyware. Should be fine then.

Put all your contacts in saline solution and no bugs should get in there as long as they are in a contact case.
