help me!someone has used my email to subscribe to sl!is not the mail that I used for my avi!

[Shocking Wonder]

Today I checked the messages on hotmail which is a mail box that I use only for managing my Facebook account.
  in my inbox I found some mail send by a group in-world to which I have never entered.
I felt strange because I do not use that email to manage my profile sl, I use gmail for sl.
I opened the message and saw that it was addressed to an avatar that I do not know, I never quite opened an account with that name, I have not alter....

I think it is someone who has somehow used my email account to be false.

how can I communicate this to the Linden Lab?

In the meantime I have changed my password to hotmail inbox, to limit other abuses (I hope!).

ETA:   Don't mind the smiley face.   The link still works.  It's this forum software's idea of a practical joke.  :smileyvery-happy:

Hello, Shocking

It sounds possible that the email you received wasn't even from anyone to do with Second Life; a possible phishing scam. 

Whether they got your email address from a list, or whether it was randomly generated by a hacker's tools, I couldn't say. Or it could be that someone with a similar email address to your hotmail has typed it wrongly when setting up a Second Life account.

Just check your computer's antivirus is up-to-date, and be extra wary when opening emails that appear to come from known sources. As you say, you only use that particular hotmail account for your Facebook account.

And it's great you've changed your password too.
