I was having a good day today, even with the scores of spam TAGGED emails coming through, until I got this one. (email changed so SPCA won't come after me.)

What is the deal with this "Tagged" email? I got my first yesterday to my old aol account. The weird thing was it had a name of a person I know. The last name was the same, but I never heard of a person by the first name. The other weird thing is that it is a very unusual last name. So I was not sure if this was spam or not, but I deleated it.

How is this working? I ask b/c I got one last night from a new work client who actually does have new twins...and I fell for it!!!

I'm sure one of our resident geeks will be along to tell us how this worm works, or whatever it's called; but anyone who has ever been sent an email from wacky will probably be getting some wackyspam. I'm not saying that I have protracted conversations with Lucky via email, but I guess he/she/it wrote me once.

I was tagged too, and am afraid that everyone I know was tagged too...what a pain, and I'm sorry if I inadvertently got any of you!

I got one of these emails from AOL. Since I have an AOL account am I sending them? The one I got had a picture. Is this how it is working?

I don't have an AOL account...will that save me? Or rather, will that save my entire address book?

AOL is immaterial, I think, as I've received this spam from email address with other ISPs and I am not AOL.

Still don't understand. These "tagged" emails are spam???

[wackymother Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close wackymother]

Yes.
