I recently (the last few hours) received an email from an embroidery site owner that had no subject. It should be discarded and not opened as I believe her email has been hacked. Do NOT click on the link in the otherwise empty email.

Thank you for the alert. I have received different emails like that. I try to delete all of them from my inbox and trash folder.

Is there any way you will share the name of the site??? I got an email almost 24 hours AFTER I requested to reset my password---I think that is a VERY LONG TIME to answer requests for resetting passwords, but I guess many sites are operated by small operators and may not answer quickly---but I thought it was a VERY LONG TIME TO WAIT---and I thought this site was larger than a 1-person-operation. Any ideas?????Thank you and God bless you.

The subject is blank as well as the contents of the email (except one link in the email body)
I really shouldn't post the name here. Because of your concern -- I will PM you

Got it---will be on the lookout for such emails---wish those kind would find something MORE CONSTRUCTIVE to do with their time. thanks again and God bless you.

I got an email supposedly from my daughter----have gotten them before----NOT her email address but had her name on it---so this time I texted her and showed her the contents---NOT FROM HER--so I SPAMMED it--I did NOT click on the "LINK"----your post really helped me to be aware of SCAMS---I hope it helps other Cuties, too, thanks again and God bless you,

It isn't here...it is another website that has been compromised and all the email addresses at that site have been as well.
Thankfully -- Ms. Veronika has much better security on her site.
