[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1706784, member: 307555"] Hazel, I checked out the link in your post #4. When I accessed it the item was listed "as not found may have been deleted." Just from what you posted I am concerned it was what is called a legitimate post. No forum should ever ask more information from you than a username you make up, a password you make up, and a valid email address - EVER! The site is a valid forum site but I am willing to bet the post was a fishing expedition by so not so nice people. The fact they have emailed you several times using a form letter is not good and is never done by a legitimate site unless they are verifying your email (which can also be from the fishing people) or saying "Hello." I am wondering if they are fishing for potential passwords or password hints you may have used. If it were me I would be evaluating what information I provided and seriously considering changing any passwords or hints you may have used on a site that could have been derived from any information you may have given out. I don't want to scare you but I do want to help make you a safer surfer. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. Lisa [/QUOTE]
