Akemi - Thanks for passing this on, even if it is legit. Good to be aware
of what's out there. I have heard of email viruses that will send out
emails from your account to contacts in your directory, (this would include
Histonet...)
Regards,
Merced

Hi All,
I received an e-mail and an early morning call from my friend Helen
Hedor this morning stating that she received a e-mail scam from me
stating; "FISHING FOR MONEY". I did in NO WAY send this e-mail! Please
do not in anyway answer or send money to the bogus e-mail scam which was
sent in my name. THIS IS SCARY! I don't know what has happened, but I
came home last night and my yahoo account sent me an e-mail which stated
that my e-mail has been compromised for scam purposes, and if I didn't
answer the questions below I would have my account frozen. I
immediately replied and answered the questions, but then I thought, what
if this is a scam to extract personal information, so I copied the the
questionnaire and sent it to the yahoo alert center. I received a reply
that they would check into it. This morning I couldn't get into my
e-mail account so I had to jump a bunch of hoops and reset my password.
I hope none of you have this happen to you. The Yahoo Account warning
stated: "Yahoo Mail has discovered series of illegal attempts on your
Yahoo Account from bad Ip Location and will shut your account as it has
been flagged as a spam account. Filling Correct Information Carefully
and Sending to Yahoo Alert Center:" I hope this was legitimate! The
information they wanted was my user name, password and birthday.
Sincerely,Akemi Allison-Tacha BS, HT(ASCP)HTL

No trees were harmed in the sending of this email.
However, many electrons were severely inconvenienced.
