Subject: Warning about possible problem
Please excuse the wide cross posting but I deem it necessary.
I received an e-mail recently from the following 'person'...
On Mon, 19 Jul 2004 18:40:54 -0500 "Triphibious" <Triphibious@juno.com>

I was surprised and concerned because this USED to be me when I had
multiple accounts (one SF, one fantasy and one historical) but I deleted
it a while ago.
Either someone has a virus that is spoofing (and an old address book
entry) OR someone picked up the name after I deleted it form Juno.com
or
some other possibility I am unaware of.
This was SPAM (relatively innocuous SPAM but still SPAM) and it IS NOT
me. I advise you (especially those of you who knew me as Triphibious
[or
Dwarf_warrior] 'back then') to treat any mail from Triphibious as
'suspect' unless you know who it really is from. This time it was SPAM
next time it could be a virus. Hopefully this is a spoof or a case of
serendipity of choosing an unused name but I feel paranoia is
appropriate
until you are sure.
Gracias,
Glenn
