Has your email address been hijacked?

At any time you may receive an email apparently from a known trusted source which was not actually sent by them. This deception is known as having your email address hijacked. It's like somebody sending a letter to a third party disguised as though it were from you which includes your address as the return address. At best this is very annoying, at worst recipients may be tricked into giving away personal details or paying for a worthless product.

You can read more about email hijacking and how to avoid becoming a victim in a new website lesson in the Help Forum here >> Private email security.

Below is a picture of the Help Forum menu where you'll find instructions for using all website functions and other useful tips.
