    Day before yesterday I received an email from my grandson containing a viagra ad. Yesterday I couldn't get into my email. Error message that my ID and Password didn't match. Worked the problem with Comcast who had me go to my primary account which was available and change my primary account to my current e-mail address to which they gave me a new password which worked and let me into this account. Then I changed their password into mine and it is hoped the problem is fixed. I have received e-mails from people on my address book about this. If any of you have received or are still receiving email purporting to be from me, please let me know.

    I got an email from you yesterday about working at home. It mentioned you were making enough for season tickets. Lucky you.

    I received that same e-mail from you that Gip is reporting. Sounds like you have already done what worked for me with e-mail hacking resolution.
