Virus Warning - Brady D. Smith, Jr.

[Paul Steinberg]

If you receive an email with nothing in the subject line from Brady D. Smith, Jr. do not open. It contains a click-able link that will infect your computer unless you have good virus protection like I do. I spoke to Brady about this, and he has OKed this message, and said that the IT people are attempting to stop it, but believe that they stole his whole email list and are using it outside of his email server, but spoofing his email address in the emails.

A big help in battling a cloned email is to change your password ASAP. When my PC was hacked & pirated through Facebook this stopped people cloning my email real quick.

I've been getting these things for the past couple weeks. I just got off the phone with my buddy Bill letting him know some of them are coming from him. It seems the only service that is doing this is yahoo.com I get them from my son in Indiana too.

We'll see what happens.

WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT CLICK THE LINK IN ANY OF THEM!!! This from my computer guy.

I have been getting these every couple days for a couple months. I used to click on them but they did nothing so I just deleted all Bradys emails with no subject. A couple days ago I got it again, tried it with no results so I wrote the link down by hand and typed it in. It came up as cannot find server. Now I wish I didnt do it. Maybe I will get lucky.

Sorry you got hacked, Brady.

This is, of course, good advice no matter who you got the e-mail from. If it doesn't have any actual text typed by the person sending it (you know the people sending you e-mails and how they talk/type), and it's just a link, don't open it. Just delete it and move on. If the sender really wanted to tell you something, they would have said something in the text of the e-mail.
