It is not the list that has been hacked but one of the member's address book. Sadly I get those sort SPAM e-mails with one of my candidates' as an addressee pretending to be legit. There is really no way of stopping these people. We should all practice the obvious "safe" procedures for vetting out e-mails. Don't open any compressed files like ZIP or RAR, and never open e-mail from anyone you do not know, etc. Short of that, delete and move on with your daily activities. Have a great and SPAM-less 2012! ....... :)) Best Regards, Leon Rofer, Managing Partner ProStar Partners, Inc.
