Answer #1

Your email was likely hacked and is now sending spam links to all your contacts. Happens quite a lot, had a bunch of people on my IM list keep messaging me about some weight loss product they tried, spam obviously.

Answer #2

Yup, you must have clicked on something that caused your email to be “hacked”. A virus/person is now using your account and sending them links so they can have the same thing happen to them.

Answer #3

I wouldn’t say your email was hacked …. it was merely hijacked.

Just change your password and it should stop.

Answer #4

mine does the same thing! n i have no clue why hahahaha my friend sent me a message hes like wtf? appearently i sent him a link about weight loss? lol when i dident n i get the same kinda messages from my friends but about like carriers so ya i think its what ever one else is saying that it got hacked
