I have an unusal email address and haven't had problems until recently. I don't understand what is happening and I don't know what, if anything, I should do.
Yesterday (3rd time) I received an email from a relative saying "was this you or an unknown?" Sure enough there was an email that had been sent from my email address...not from me. The first time the email was addressed to about ten people and I only recognized two names...not commonly used names but people with whom I've exchanged one or two emails in the past few years. The second time it was also a group that included my son's work email and unknowns. Yesterday it appeared to just have gone to this one remote relative.
What's going on? What, if anything, should I do about it? When I say "I do" I actually mean what should I hire the computer dude to do?
by the way you all who are younger have no idea how simple life was when every family had one phone to share and communication was limited to your phone, snail mail and a Western Union telegram when there was a death in the family. Sigh. DDD
