  • yahoo id compromised.Pls help.?

    Never thought I'd post a Q like this..my contacts (and some other persons) are getting e-mail from my e-mail ID.It's not 'supposedly' from my ID since after I changed every address by adding 123 in front of every id , I get reports of bounced mails in my mailbox.

    Can any tech guru throw some light on this??

    here is one example.

    <123xxxxxxx@gmail.com>:

    74.125.157.27 does not like recipient.

    Remote host said: 550-5.1.1 The email account that you tried to reach does not exist. Please try

    550-5.1.1 double-checking the recipient's email address for typos or

    550-5.1.1 unnecessary spaces. Learn more at

    550 5.1.1 http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answe... v12si13395145ybk.39

    Giving up on 74.125.157.27.

    and these mails give a link 2 "increase your length by 4 inches" or "increase your cup size" or "discount rate for V14gr4"...etc.

    I have since changed my password but have done nothing else.
