I received a home email from a Rose Yak who said she found me on the Cancer.org discussion site. I replied a short message - something did not seem right- and then checked online for a membership. There is none. I received a message from her today (she's in Sudan with bad Spelling!) I have blocked it - but wanted to tell you guys to be alert.

God Bless you today,
Barbara

    Thanks Barb
    I had a strange email and I won't even say what was in the topic it was so bad but I deleted it without opening it. I couldn't believe my eyes. Thanks for the warning. Of course I don't open email when I don't recognize especially with the language in the title. Again thanks Barb
    Prayers and Hugs Sandy

    Email
    I did report it. Unfortunately, I do not have her first email to me. She said she was on the discussion group and had read my post and wanted to communicate with me. I had listed my home email in one of my posts so I think that is where she got it. I angry that she did it under the blanket of the Cancer site.
    Anyway, all is well.
    God Bless You.

    Maybe wer should 'edit' out our email addresses.
    When I first posted my email address for someone in a post on these Discussion Boards, I went back a week later and used the 'edit' feature to take it off. But since then I've probably posted it again for someone else who seemed to need a friend to 'talk' with. Maybe we should all try and find our old emails where we have our email addresses posted and edit them out. What a pain!

    Email
    Just a suggestion that you use the email here and then through there you can share your regular email. Please be very cautious about posting email on boards.
