[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1894803, member: 204485"] Just to go back to your original post, the Mormon Church thing is almost certainly a phishing attempt of some sort. They are becoming more and more sophisticated by the day. It may well not be related to your other problem, personally I don't think so, just coincidence. You may have just clicked on something seemingly innocent which sent an email to a site which has recorded your email address and phone number, especially if your phone number is part of your email signature. These days emails can have "active" pixels imbedded in banners and logos which if clicked on can send data about you to another party. Try to remove suspicious emails without opening them where possible. [/QUOTE]
