I was using my husband’s e-mail account to write to his family during his absence; they don’t know that I have my own e-mail account. Suddenly a man I don’t know started to send me inspirational messages. I thought it was somebody from my husband’s family spying on me. I compared their IP’s numbers, but they don’t match. This morning I checked MY OWN e-mail account and that guy has sent me a message!!!! What is this about? How could he track my other e-mail account?
Is this man somebody that knows me or is this a computer bug or a spy program? I am not being asked to click on any link.
I don’t think my husband has time to play that kind of games; he is deployed.
My friends don’t know his e-mail address nor his friends know mine.

I don't visit chatrooms. I just told my husband a few minutes ago after I posted the question, so it is not that I am hiding something. The messages (from the same person) are inspirational and for personal growth.

sometimes all one has to do is send to the server itself, or so I had been told..when something like that had happened to me. I don't remember the exact ins and outs.. but it is frightening, when you have no idea whats going on. You can report it to your provider..
Do your husband and yourself use the same provider?
I get junk mail, but thankfully.. it goes into the bulk bin..

I think he catched you when you were in the chat room. Or if you were using web cam and accept the invitation from that user. Tell me the Yahoo Id of that person and I will surely terminate the account of that person to save you from your husband.

Don't get too much worried. Its just a SPAM which probably was sent to the whole world (everyone on that domain). Just delete that mail.

If it's your husband's military email account, I would definately tell him as soon as possible, and advise him to change his password!!

Call your provider, they can help you get to the bottom of this.
