Malcolm Bull's Calderdale Companion
« on: Sunday 05 January 14 10:20 GMT (UK) »
On Friday, my email account at SKY.COM was compromised.  Many of my contacts received a fake email, ostensibly from me in the Ukraine, asking for money.  All my contacts were deleted and I did not receive any emails on or after Friday.  I have now discontinued use of my SKY email address calderdaleATskyDOTcom until further notice

If you sent me an email to the above address, and I have not yet acknowledged or replied, please contact me by PM for my new email address.

I have changed all the pages of my Calderdale Companion website to show my new email address

My apologies to anyone inconvenienced by this debacle

Hi Malcolm,

Sorry to hear of your email troubles, most frustrating I am sure for you.

I have just changed your RootsChat emails to your new one so you will now receive your notifications.

Regards

Sarah :)

Hello Malcolm
Glad it was a scam, and you are not on your uppers.  How do I do a PM?

Not directly relevant to your recent problems, perhaps, just a "thank you" for a delightful site, which has kept me browsing for ages, and often given me interesting information.

Also interested in Leigh& Burrows,(Lancashire) Griffiths (Shropshire & lancs), Leaver (Lancs/Yorks) & Anderson(Cumberland and very elusive)

Thanks.  Every little encouragement helps when I have to contact hundreds of people and businesses tellling that I'm not in the Ukraine and that I've changed my email, and feeling like packing the website in

Malcolm
I reckon most of us realised the email was a scam and deleted it (or blocked it and/or junk mailed it).
Don't "pack it in". Your website is wonderful
