VF Hacked?
I received an email today from someone I recognized as a VFer asking me to purchase a gift card for her niece. Then I just received a pm from someone else saying they had an email from me that I didn’t send. It seems that someone could have hacked VF or perhaps it started outside of it. I just find it odd that the emails are going from one VFer to another.
Just a heads up. Has anyone else has this happen?

Was she asking for a favor?

Something sure seems off. Might be a good idea to change your password.

I'm thinking it's from Facebook. I've been told people are getting strange messages from me and a lot of those are VFers but a lot are non-VFers who are also Facebook friends.

I'm one that got an e-mail from Cherimac's real name (and her husband's). It looked real (compared with emails I got a few years ago from her with trades) so I replied to it with a question and didn't get a response back, and didn't think til later to message here. I noticed my giftee's e-mail was on the email I got showing me who I am the santa for. Could that possibly have anything to do with it?

Jenilu, I think that's the one I got. I knew the first name sounded familiar, but couldn't place the last name. I didn't answer the email.

The one I got had a husband’s name with it. My husband and I don’t have an email together.
I will reset my password here and on Facebook. Thanks!

If you haven’t already, you should contact the VFer here to make them aware that they need to correct the situation on their side.
