Evidently, the late John Coop's email address has been compromised , as I received a phishing link in an email from his account today.

Report this to SpamCop and they will notify his email provider. You can include a note in the report, telling them that he is deceased.

I got an email from my brother a couple weeks ago, and he's been dead for 5 years. I knew what it was, of course, but it was kinda spooky.

Maybe I could turn that into a book, if Steven King hasn't already used it.

I once got an email from an account that I deactivated 10 or so years prior... Was kind of funny...

R.I.P. John Coop... Though your email account ain't!

It's not coming from Coop's PC. These types of things come from an infected PC somewhere that has his e-mail address in their e-mail address book.

I got a few last week from my son and it wasn't from him. Someone had hacked his Blackberry account.
I told him to contact hid IP for help.
