Last night, I began getting emails from places and people I had never heard of. The first one I got was from a company, saying it was an auto-reply to an email I had sent. Nope, never sent one. There were no hyperlinks or attachments, so I didn't feel as if this was a virus or anything else ominous. Before turning the computer off for the night, I had already received about 20 emails, all from different people. The only thing they all had in common: Nancy's Notions was the first recipient in all of these. Some of the later emails were from people who had been getting these same emails, so I knew something was up. Obviously, someone's email account had been hijacked.
When I turned the computer on today, I was expecting a ton of emails that I would need to delete. There were NO bogus emails in my inbox. ????????????? I have no idea what happened. Obviously, the problem was corrected, but why would any bogus emails just disappear? I can't believe that I didn't get any new ones before someone had a chance to fix the problem. So this leaves me with a problem: Did I get all of my mail today? This interweb business can be frustrating.

Probably your email provider found out about the spam emails and deleted them for you and also intercepted any from the bogus addresses. I wouldn't worry about it. If anyone legit sent you an email, they'll ask you about it if they don't get a reply.
ReplyDeleteSo true. It's not as if I get all that much email anyway... :D
ReplyDeleteIt's like missed phone calls-if it's important, they'll call back! (this is for those of us who have lived pre-answering machines.)
ReplyDeleteMissed phone calls...WOW! It's hard to even remember what that was like! These days, when I leave the house for a few hours, I always set the phone to call forwarding, just so I won't miss those all important solicitation calls. :D
ReplyDeletehmmm. that IS weird.
ReplyDeleteAnd I haven't gotten another weird email since...
