Solve : someone is giving my e-mail info out as a prank?

Answer»

I have been receiving e-mails that say that they are coming because my info was GIVEN to an on-line type of form, e.g. donations, self-help, etc. I believe I know who it is doing this but I can't prove it. They e-mail used isn't our primary. It is an OLD e-mail that we just don't use. This "harassment" is aimed at my husband. But now the person filling these out is using my maiden name as my husband's last name; this makes it more worrisome since I have an uncle with that name. I am at a loss. We called the police when we received the prison pen-pal letter. They were not the most helpful.

I don't open any of the e-mail for fear of some bad virus etc. I have tried contacting some of the ORGANIZATIONS back but many times they just apologize and remove our DATA from their lists.

Any recommendations?Quote from: AirHalling on April 01, 2011, 01:30:56 PM

Seems like the simplest thing to do would be close the account.
