If you have a hotmail account then most people have been hacked recently. I
too have been hacked and these Chinese posted messages in my name on some
reputable newsgroups and people were amazed that I have done this.

I then posted full headers [ IP 123.118.150.167 ] and they realised that it
is a big snoop by Chinese on hotmail account holders.

We should hear about this in the news pretty soon unless Microsoft decides
to keep quiet about this.

Please change your password quickly before they do it and take control over
your account. It is always very difficult to get back your account even if
you remember your details you have registered with M$.

The things they posted were:
"the first step for online shopping"
"the securitiest online shop posted by thousands of customers"

The spellings are their own!!!

Please don't post their links here. I have deleted it from your message for
obvious reasons.

Just because you received a message that appears to come from yourself does
not mean, as LD55ZRA seems tgo think, that your account has been compromised.
Spammers frequently use legitimate addresses as thier sender address.

There's litrtle you can do about a hijacked address except elevate your Junk
E-mail filter level.
