IMPORTANT: A MUST READ TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS

Emergency Special Notice

We have been made aware that emails have been sent from this address:

The Subject Line states:

From: Anthem Opinions

These emails are NOT from the Anthem Opinions blog and SHOULD NOT BE OPENED.

This appears to be an attempt to STEAL email addresses and personal information.


All of our eblast emails come from this address ONLY:


...with the Subject LIne reading:

Anthem Opinions

Again, if you receive anything from:

                          AnthemOpinions@poinx.it

NO NOT OPEN IT
...and..
IMMEDIATELY DELETE IT.

  1. From Dorothy Yu...to...Anthem Opinions

    Dear Dick and Alan:

    Thanks for this notice.

    I find one possible problem at this notice, the address @poinx.

    When these not so savvy seniors point at that area, they will automatically get to that address!!!

    I do not know how to solve that problem, just a friend reminding you of the potential problem!!!
  2. Thanks Dorothy,

    In the past I am sure a number of individuals have received what appeared to be legitimate emails being labeled from whom they thought was a friend or someone they had known.

    I can recall one from a known individual that was entitled, "Do you want to see a picture of me naked?"

    (Being an individual who was in her 70s...let's just say...I DIDN'T !)

    For all of you out there, if you for some reason open such a fictitious email, there will ordinarily be a link for an individual to "click" on.

    It's the "click" on the link that creates the damage and evidently copies your address book, and is sent to those individuals as well.

    And if you get one from me asking if you want to see ME NAKED...trust me....YOU WILL LOSE YOUR EYESIGHT FOR LIFE in addition to being hacked !
