YAHOO Warning!!!!!
 
If you get an IM from anyone here at Pixies (or really anywhere for all that matters) with a hyperlink and no real message, I would advise you not to click the link. Those of us who have are having trouble with our messengers. If you already did and are experiencing trouble I would suggest you change your password.

I got that from a pixie this morning and it took me to a page to log in...thought it was wierd. I haven't had any problems tho...not yet anyway :(

IWM you may begin to get messages that you are being signed off Yahoo because you are using that account elsewhere. I would change your password log out and then log back in.

TY for the alert Lil! I know someone having trouble with Yahoo IM and now I know what to tell them!

What ever is spooking around has been to my door. I got two offline messages from one Pixie that sent me to some ‘Yahoo Photo Share’ I don’t recall setting up, that had one pic of my avatar. The other sent me to a wild-ass BB that I know NOTHING about. Early (03:00) I got another from another MAJOR Pixie also, for the same Photo Share site.

I do recall getting the ‘Sign Off’ message during the trip to see what I was being sent to. I did use IM afterward without problem, so whatever it is doing is insidious.

I don't know what the bad guy looks like or what all he may be into yet, but I'm starting here and it looks like it fits what's happening.

I believe that is exactly what is occuring and is why I suggested changing the password and logging out then back in.

Lilith,

Something Wicked This Way Comes.

PantyFanatic 11-15-2005 10:16 PM

CORRECTION!

The Photo Share link was to the below address and I KNOW I never set anything up there.

geocities.
com/
hot
_n_
sxy
_slapper/

I don’t know if any of this helps, so let me know if I should stop posting on my feeble journey.

dreamgurl 11-15-2005 10:25 PM

PF that is the same message I recieved today, don't think that helps much but to just let other people know.
