Stan,
This is the more common method for fraud these days. Email accounts have traditionally been as vulnerable as the user's discretion in choosing a "strong" password. Stolen or guessed email account credentials are a hot-selling item in the nether regions of the internet.
Shal,
Thanks. Is the above link safe to use? Sometimes I get messages from some of the members of my Yahoo discussion group that end up in my IP's Spam folder. It has their name on the message but it is not them. Is this a good link to post in my yahoo discussion group for members to check their email address for being compromised? Would it end up causing me a big headache in ways unseen by posting it?
Stan
Email services are tightening up on this, at least the name-brand ones. But in a group with world-wide reach one may have members with services of various quality.
