I’m not a tech nerd

Cos if I was my gmail account would not have been hacked into or attacked by virus would it? Thousands of emails sent out last night to my contacts list.

Text messages, emails and phone calls from many of these contacts have been received this morning. (Thank you to those who weren’t laughing at me!)

I’m sorry.

    I knew there was something up straight off, with the inappropriate capitalisation, the misplaced punctuation and the reference to “my dear friend”. It is kinda nice that spammers don’t actually write content that looks like real text.

    I think it’s more likely that your password has been stolen — first off, check the Settings page and ensure there’s no forwarding Filters set up that you didn’t put there; then change the password and do virus scans…
