Someone is using my e-mail address!
The longer you've had your e-mail address, the more likely that it has been used in any number of "spoofing" schemes. When your address is used in a spoofing scam, it will generate items in your Inbox that you supposedly sent out or signed up for but you don't recognize ...
How are these people doing this? Why did they pick you? What are they trying to accomplish? Aren't there laws against this type of activity? How do we track these mutton heads down and prosecute them? What can you do to avoid this in the future?
Listen in as the Data Doctors address all of these questions and more on this week's show.
Join us every Weekend as we discuss your computer questions. You can post questions on
Facebook
or e-mail your questions during (or before) the broadcast using the
ask a question page.
