Jack,
I sent you a message. Please check your E-mail
Denny
Ditto.
Looks like Uncle Jack has been hacked (again)....
Didn't get your emails,but did find a trojan virus and have removed it.Thanks.
Soooo,
I shouldn't have given my email, password, birth date and Soc Sec?
I feel so stupid.....
Alot of that going on.The email comes from somebody you know and it talks about a man changing his attitude?
When will the lowlifes find something better to do?
Rob;
You really didn't do all of that, did U?
I called and got Jack's butt out of bed this morning and broke the news to him.
When you see the same niggerian on top of the same phone poll day after day with a cell phone and a laptop, and youre on a dial up connection, I would be concerned.
"Hello, this is PEGGY, how may I help you?" LOL
I didn't click on the link in the email. Figured it was a hoax just by the content of the message. Especially when it starts off "Dear,".
I'll say it again, every time you point out how you figured out it was a scam, you just provide more information to the scammers that helps them polish their craft....
I should have known. Jack is a man of few words when it comes to emails.
When I opened it my screen lit up with red warning signs and audio sounds, when my virus protection kicked in.
I got the same email but just deleted it without any further action. The virus is installed by just visiting a web site that is linked to but I know Jack and could easily tell by the content of the email that it didn't come from him. Jack is a well known cheap skate and this Jack was wanting to spend some money. I knew right away it wasn't the Jack that we all know and love
We also know that Uncle Jack does not call any us "Dear"!!
Your right Jack, Jack don't call us "Dear"
Common decency prevents me from posting the endearments usually reserved for you monkeys..(G)I do thank you for the heads up,and hope it didn't hurt anybody to bad.
That'll teach you to be careless with yer Trojans Jack. Keep us informed when you get thing wrapped up!
Garnet
Are you feelin' the love ???? LOL
GEE and I was all warm and fuzzy because I thought Jack called me Dear.
I still feel so stupid. I thought he meant it when he typed "Dear". And now he has my soc, license number, and passwords.
(on the way to Hershey, time to have some fun)
Hope everyone caught it like I did and didn't open the link.
Bob
Oh.... Are you not supposed to open the link? oivbnl3hyqwljhbeljunclejack3heep43978yxco3ewed.com
Here is one to think about.
You may have a relative or Model T friend who needs to read this advice.
Faulting the basic design approach, John McAfee, founder of McAfee, Inc. has been harshly critical of the tech roll-out behind ObamaCare.
McAfee pointed out that, because there is no central point of control when it comes to ObamaCare's web-based health care exchanges, almost anyone can create a site that would look completely legitimate.
From there, it would be easy for hackers to get their hands on important personal information such as the birth date and social security number of would-be subscribers. McAfee predicted that many Americans will be scammed to the tune of millions of dollars as a result of the flawed design.
McAFEE: Well, here's the problem – it's not something software can solve. I mean, what idiot put this system out there and did not create a central depository? There should be one website, run by the government, you go to that website and then you can click on all of the agencies. This is insane. So, I will predict the loss of income for the millions of Americans who are going to lose their identities – I mean, you can imagine some retired lady in Utah, who has $75,000 dollars in the bank, saving her whole life, having it wiped out in one day because she signed up for Obamacare. And believe me, this is going to happen millions of times. I cannot believe that they did this.
Good one, Royce
Thanks Royce, the picture is now my desktop back round. Saul Alinsky would be proud of Barry!
James, I think we all know what idiot did this. Thanks for the McAfee info though.

Of all people, John McAfee isn't exactly an unimpeachable source. From wiki:

Legal problems
On April 30, 2012, McAfee's property in Orange Walk Town, Belize, was raided by the Gang Suppression Unit of the Belizean Police Department. McAfee was in bed with his girlfriend at that time who McAfee said was scared by the incident. A GSU press release stated that McAfee was arrested for unlicensed drug manufacturing and possession of an unlicensed weapon.[10][17][18][19] He was released without charge.[20] In 2012, Belize police spokesman Raphael Martinez confirmed that he was not convicted nor charged but only suspected.[21]
On November 12, 2012, Belize police started a search for McAfee as a "person of interest" in connection to the murder of American expatriate Gregory Viant Faull. Faull was found dead of a gunshot wound on November 11, 2012, at his home on the island of Ambergris Caye, the largest island in Belize.[22][23] Faull was a neighbor of McAfee.[24] No one has yet been formally charged.[23] In a November 2012 interview with Wired,[25] McAfee said that he has always been afraid police would kill him and thus refused their routine questions; he has since been evading the Belizean authorities.[24] Belize's prime minister Dean Barrow called McAfee "extremely paranoid, even bonkers".[26] McAfee fled Belize when he was sought for questioning concerning the murder.[27][28][29]
Vice accidentally gave away his location at a Guatemalan resort in early December 2012, when a photo taken by one of its journalists accompanying McAfee was posted with the Exif geolocation metadata still attached.[30] He then appeared publicly in Guatemala City where he attempted to seek political asylum. On December 5, 2012, McAfee was arrested for illegally entering Guatemala. Shortly after being placed under arrest, a board to review McAfee's plea for asylum was formed. The committee denied his asylum, so he was taken from his holding facility to a detention center in order to await deportation to Belize.[31] On December 6, 2012, Reuters and ABC News reported that John McAfee had two minor heart attacks in a Guatemalan detention center and was hospitalized.[32][33] His lawyer stated that McAfee had not suffered heart attacks, but he had instead suffered from high blood pressure and anxiety attacks.[34][35][36] McAfee later stated that he faked the heart attack while being held in Guatemala to buy time for his attorney to file a series of appeals that ultimately prevented his deportation to Belize, hastening the government's decision to send him back to the United States.[37] On December 12, 2012, McAfee was released from detention in Guatemala and deported to the United States.[38]
Ralph, Apples and Oranges, nice try!
