It's not Nick; somehow, someone in his address may have been phished. Recently I've been getting job opportunity links, ostensibly from friends, but with phony e-mail addresses.

The first time it happened to me I received a link from someone I knew on Twitter.  I was sent very disturbing porn link that went out to all my twitter followers (fortunately I rare go on Twitter). I got a nasty reply from a young girl saying, "Jon, I used to think you were a standup guy, but now I know you are a dirty old man"..  I changed my password right away, but it was too late.  Most social networks have a security page.

Now, I know better than to reply to e-mails asking for my password, ESPECIALLY if my user I.D. is my e-mail address, or it is from a bank.  Nor do I respond to e-mails that threaten to close my account unless I provide personal information. I rarely download software unless it is from a confirmed web site.
