Several of my followers have received an email which claims to include a video from me.
IT DOES NOT! I have not sent anything to my followers.
I got a similar email from one of my followers stating they sent me a video.
These are all looking as if sent via HubPages.
Be aware and do not open it!
Your welcome Hopefully noone opens it as it smells bad! Great to see you!
Nice to see you as well Katie. I hope things are good besides the smelly email.
Katie, I got one of those emails a couple of hours ago. It didn't look like it came from Hubpages but it did mention your name - it was from VideoMX (Katiem2) and asked me to visit my video at
hxxp://u.bb/1me?vid=Izzym999_on_webcam
which I couldn't resist looking at even though there is no video of me in existence never mind on the web. Anyway, my computer crashed shortly afterwards which isn't that strange as my computer is always crashing, but I did run my AV to be sure.
It looks like your email has been hacked because that name is the start of my email address not my Hubpages username.
Looks like, the first one I got came from a hubber, I opened it as I knew the email address. I then heard from follower that it was being sent to them. Sorry! I changed my passwords and ran scans myself.
We get busy and I realize I can't allow myself to be to free to open emails from people i know before I consider if they would have sent it to me.
Thanks for the feed back and good luck with your computer.
Thanks its no problem - back running normally again and yes I knew when I opened it that it wasn't from you and that I took a risk opening the link - it had a sign in page and I just scooted out again. My AV and firewall should keep me protected anyway
I should have emailed you about it but I got busy with something else and forgot sorry..
That Will Be In Response to Getting Caught Squatting with their pants down @ Papatoto.con - the Article Thieves!

I have not received any email notifications from HubPages since yesterday, March 9th, just before noon. Has anyone else had this problem? I will retype my email address and check my junk folder.

Hello fellow hubbers,I am fairly new to Hubpages. I have created this account using a mail-id that I want to deactivate now. I have now linked my Facebook account with Hubpages. My question is, if I deactivate my email account (with which I registered on HubPages), will I lose access to my account...
