E-Mail Fraud

Greetings and Salutations to All my Kith and Kin and All the Ships in Outer Space: Once again, e-mails have been sent from my Yahoo! e-mail account without my knowledge, participation, or consent. First, I will NOT send you an e-mail offering to sell something. If you get such an e-mail from me, just delete it and don't even open it. Whatever you do, please do NOT go to any web site that's referred to in that e-mail, for that's how Internet viruses are spread. Second, if I send you an e-mail, it will always include my custom signature block (see below). Note that the fraudulent e-mails are rife with misspelled words and poor grammar, a classic indication of an Internet hoax, or computer virus, possibly originating in a foreign country, perhaps China or Russia. As you may note, I'm a native American, and rather meticulous with my spelling and grammar. This same perpetrator has also sent identical messages to my blog, but I have thus far prevented all attempts at hacking into it. I have copied the URL code from the e-mail's Properties, and submitted a report of FRAUD to Yahoo! Abuse. My computer virus program, McAfee, is kept updated, so I don't think the problem's in my computer. The McAfee program is included with my Comcast cable television company's high speed Internet connection. I think this problem is limited to just my Yahoo! e-mail account. However, I haven't yet checked my other e-mail accounts, since I never use them. I apologize for any unwarranted inconvenience. Thank you.
