I’ve spent the last day and a half contacting vendors, changing passwords, and assuring friends that I was not mugged in London.

Please, if you received a message from me, DO NOT send money.  Apparently this is a common scam (the emergency scam). Western Union has some information about these scams on their website.

If you did send money for this or another scam using Western Union, report the fraud on their website.

Since I used my email account to store my information, other accounts have been hacked as well.

The scammer even hacked into my online backup and tried to backup one of his own computers. This gave him access to other files on my computer.

As the world shrinks and it becomes easier to contact people across the globe (I had a phone call from Kevin Riley in Japan warning me that I’d  been hacked), these 6 cheap propecia incidents are becoming more common.

If you receive a message that this, contact the friend who sent the message, if you can. Cell phones make this easier world-wide.

If you can’t reach the friend, contact a mutual friend Buy Levitra Professional to see what they know. Gtalk was hot with messages from my friends to each other asking what everyone knew about the situation.

My phone was busy with calls from people telling me about the scam and with me calling vendors to report the problem. So a lot of folks heard a busy signal.

I really appreciate everyone’s concern. I really found out how many friends I have in a difficult time.

The problem resulted from me not following the procedures that I teach.

To avoid having this happen to you…

• Use different, secure passwords for every site
• Use paid services for email and other important information
• Store account information offline or in secure files
• Use secure websites when possible, especially over wireless connections
• https://gmail.google.com, for example

The sad thing is that I have Roboform sitting in my drawer and haven’t started using it yet. Today, I promise!!!!!

Now, I’m behind in Connie Ragen Green’s #blog30 challenge. But, I have plenty of things to blog about.

Many thanks to Kevin, Connie, Carrie and many others who let me know about the problem when it first happened. I appreciate you all!
