Hello,

I received this email to my hotmail address, opened it and entered my info. Within minutes I changed my password. I later closed my account. I did not have any contacts in my contact list. I spoke with a buddy of mine and he had recieved the email from my address. Why did he recieve the email? A while back, I deleted all of my contacts from my list. They may still have me on theirs. Is it possible that the email is sent to anyone who has my email as a contact on their list?

I’ve never thought about that. I have no idea how long they would keep the information in their database. I guess one way is to make a fake account to experiment?

I just got an email from a friend with a link to one of these sites. I clicked it and entered information (Yea i know it was stupid, I was tired) right after i knew i had been scammed, so I changed my password. But is there really NO chance of getting my good ol’ password back? :/

Hi Tara, how is the situation now? Have you tried clearing your cache? I’m not a computer/IT expert so the advice I can give is really limited.

That’s true. When the virus sends links over msn to other people, I don’t think a window pops up on the affected account or email doesn’t appear in sent folder. So the only way they find out is when other people tell them about it. It never hurts to check things out with them first!
