Everyone received the same message because it accessed our buddylists to send out the bogus IMs.

When you change your Yahoo password keep in mind that Yahoo will send notification of the change to the alternate email address you have listed. Be sure that you get that notification and that no one has redirected your Yahoo information.

There is a new link being sent out....got one from PF and another contact this morning

I've just changed my password...damn scammers!!

If you get the links please send Yahoo security the information

Okay, I have changed my password twice and havent gotten a notification from Yahoo! The e-mail address is right but i haven't gotten a request and I'm starting to freak out.

did you use a hotmail as the alternate email? I find hotmail arrives slowly.

For the record!!!

I did NOT send any links to anybody without a note.

I just checked with a non-Pixie from my list and she DID get that offline message with the link SUPPOSEDLY from me. The slickest part is that she ‘replied’ to me asking “for some reason when I try to go here it sends me to Yahoo Photos and when I sign it I go to my own photos.......I don't get it. What am I supposed to be seeing?”, and I do NOT get her message back.

These fuckers are slick. I don’t know who or what they are doing with the IM passwords they are gathering, but it seems they cover their tracks pretty well.

You may want to consider notifying ALL the names on your list, ...particularly non-Pixies that won’t see the thread.

:eek:


Ok, for the record...

I'm the one PF is referring to. Imagine my surprise to learn that I'm a "non-Pixie." :eek: I may not post as frequently as I used to, but I AM STILL A PIXIE!!!
On topic, however......I did go and change my password, and I got the notification almost immediately from Yahoo. I'm glad PF did happen to check with me about this, even if he does consider me a "non-Pixie" because I don't spend as much time here as I once did. Maybe I need to sic Steph on you....hummmphhhhhh........a "non-Pixie" indeed!!

Spank him Sugarsprinkles...;)

Well you can disregard what I had in this post too. I just opened my e-mail and had a confirmation of my password change. :o

I MEANT people on my list that may not see this thread SS. I normally can make an ass out of my self very well alone, but it’s good to know I have a friend that will back me up if I ever miss. :rofl: Thanks.

I got PF's IM too....just changed my password. Hope it wasn't too late. I apologize to any of you who receive a message from me.

This is like some sort of cybernetically contracted venereal disease :p

grrrrrr....
 

Sheezzzz...... VD without even the fun of sex to get it. Now thats low!!


I got the same link from "PF" too.

Thanks for letting us know about this Lil. I changed my Yahoo Instant Messenger password. Is it affecting only that or Yahoo Mail too?

You know how long it's gonna take me to stop using my old password and use the new one!?!? oy vay!!!

I tend to change my passwords at irregular intervals anyway. Helps keep the people looking over my shoulder confused.

*Hands on hips, stomping feet* Well I didn't get any phoney link from PF. I must not be on his list anymore. *major pouting*

I really don't understand how this is happening. Which isn't surprising with the state of my mind lately, but how is someone getting Pixie's IDs? Is it another Pixie doing this? Do we know who? Do you have to have your Yahoo ID listed in your profile for it to happen?

I need this explained to me as if I'm a two year old. *No jokes!*
