How do I get rid of a fraud email similar to mine

my banker just got an email "Not from me" similar to my real e-mail.
Instead of mac at he end had an me.
This email was asking to "change wire instructions"
I am sure this is someone with the intention on fraud.
How do I get rid of this other email similar to mine?

In addition to Grant's as always sage advice, you can take some precautions. Almost certainly it is your mail service provider where the hack occured. Nothing you can do to undo what has happened, but you can make it more difficult for it to happen again by changing your password.
Good advice here:

I have a new iPad. I am using Comcast as my email provider but when I send a message, it pulls up the facebook email addresses for my contacts instead of the addresses stored in my comcast account. How can I get rid of the Facebook email addresses? The comcast addresses are stored in the comcast (xfinity) app. I do not use the "mail" or "contacts" apps ....I go straight to comcast (xfinity). I wish I could start over!!! thanks.

I could be wrong, but it sounds like Facebook imported to your contacts. I have the Xfinity app on my new ipad, too, but none of my stored contacts from the online version are showing, only what I manually entered into the iPads contacts are there. When I did add the FB app, I did not grant it permission to push and pull from my ipad (not a fan of FB knowing every detail about me), so that may be where our difference lies. You could try to open the app and change your privacy settings, or delete it and then reinstall without granting permissions to integrate.
I'm sure someone here with a lot more knowledge then me can probably diagnose your issue better, though. Good luck!

TS3899 How can I get rid of a wrong email count on inbox?

I have set up my BT email account in settings, and it works fine. Except that although the inbox if empty there's a constant icon on the home screen showing 13 emails in the box. I can't get rid of this, even though I have set up the email twice now. What's going on and how can I get rid of the score when the box is empty? It just counts up from 13. (ipad mini)

Thanks.
I tried that, waited for the Apple to appear. But when the home screen appeared - just the same. So I deleted the account (bt internet). Re-set as before. Then set up the account again. still have 13 emails showing and nothing in the in box. Annoying. I think this is because I delete some (13?) emails from the online access to the inbox (on a laptop) but it's out of synch with the ipad. Neither account has any emails but the ipad thinks it's got 13 I have deleted. But they are not there!!!
Thanks anyway.

Once in a while your e-m provider will make changes and you will get a large dump like that.
I recommend using your web-based e-m to quickly delete them.

TS3899 I was deleting my emails when all of a sudden it started loading emails that had been put in trash and then deleted. I'm up to 1364. How do I get this to stop and how do I get rid of all these emails?

I was deleting emails on my iPad to trash , when 1364 past emails which had been sent to trash and was deleted was back in my inbox. I can't get this to stop. When I try to delete some emails it just adds more. Could someone tell me what has happened and how do I fix this problem?

"Other" represents data that iTunes can't recognize. A few hundred mb of other is normal. The 6.9 gb you have represents corrupted data (maybe from an interrupted sync or some other glitch).
Sometimes, syncing one more song can clear up the extra other. If not, you'll need to restore your iPod. Here are the instructions: Restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
You can restore from your iPod backup when asked.

How to I get rid of the 'x' button in a mini slide?

In Captivate 8, when I create a mini slide to be displayed on mouseover, in playback mode it is displayed with an "x" button on the top right corner. This button seems to suggest that it will close the mini slide, but in my context it is functionless and useless. How can I stop this button to be displayed?

The "Stick Slidelet" option has been unchecked all the time, but the "X" button stayed.
Meanwhile, on saving Captivate asked me for the umpteenth time if I wanted to convert my project from Captivate 7 to 8. It seems like I originally had a version 7 trial installed, but my licensed copy clearly states that it is version 8 now, and I have answered this dialog with "please convert" in this project every time before.
Anyway. Now my original slidelets still have the unwanted "X" button. But when I create a new slidelet from scratch, it does not have the button anymore.

I changed my google account email address over a year ago, but Firefox continues to remember my old one, despite repeated cache/cookie clearing, forcing me to retype in my email everytime I need to log in. How do I get rid of that old email?

I have a google account that I use mostly for the calendar. Occasionally I'm taken to the log in page (my time has expired, or someone else has logged in on my computer to their google account). On the log in page, the email address that Firefox remembers is an email address that I have not used in over a year (although it was the first email I used when I opened my google account). I have deleted that email address within google; I have cleared ALL my cookies and my entire cache numerous times and no matter -- the old email address is what Firefox remembers when I log in new.

I have the same problem and it is killing me. Apple store technicians were not able to help. This is a data protection that is affecting my privacy. If this issue cannot solved then I will not be able to send confidential emails.

How do I get rid of genii as my search engine

how do I get rid of genii as my search engine

You installed the "Genieo/InstallMac" rootkit. The product is a fraud, and the developer knowingly distributes an uninstaller that doesn't work. I suggest the tedious procedure below to disable Genieo. This procedure may leave a few small files behind, but it will permanently deactivate the rootkit (as long as you never reinstall it.)
Malware is constantly changing to get around the defenses against it. The instructions in this comment are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data. You must know how to restore from a backup even if the system becomes unbootable. If you don't know how to do that, or if you don't have any backups, stop here and ask for guidance.
Step 1
In the Applications folder, there should be an item named "Genieo". Select it and open the Finder Info window. If it shows that the Version is less than 2.0, download and install the current version from the genieo.com website. This may seem paradoxical, since the goal is to remove it, but you'll be saving yourself some trouble as well as the risk of putting the system in an unusable state.
There should be another application in the same folder named "Uninstall Genieo". After updating Genieo, if necessary, launch "Uninstall Genieo" and follow the prompts to remove the "newspaper-style home page." Restart the computer.
This step does not completely inactivate Genieo.
Step 2
Don't take this step unless you completed Step 1, including the restart, without any error messages. If you couldn't complete Step 1, stop here and ask for instructions.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Frameworks/GenieoExtra.framework
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.
If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder should open with an item named "GenieoExtra.framework" selected. Move that item to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your administrator password.
Move each of these items to the Trash in the same way:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.update.plist
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.engine.plist
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client.plist

/usr/lib/libimckitsa.dylib~/Library/Application Support/com.genieoinnovation.Installer~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.download.plist
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.update.plist
If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those listed above, move them as well. There's no need to restart after each one. Some of these items will be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
Restart and empty the Trash. Don't try to empty the Trash until you have restarted.
Step 3
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including ones called "Genieo" or "Omnibar," and any that have the word "Spigot" or "InstallMac" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Your web browser(s) should now be working, and you should be able to reset the home page and search engine. If not, stop here and post your results.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install this software. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad has a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If youever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Genieo developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. It must be said that this failure of oversight is inexcusable and has seriously compromised the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You cannot rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
Finally, be forewarned that when Genieo is mentioned on this site, the developer sometimes shows up under the name "Genieo support." If that happens, don't believe anything he says, but feel free to tell him what you think of his scam.
