How Did This Happen?

[Margaret N]

I have just checked my email and I found this 'scam email'.

It is NOT addressed to me which is the mystery ~ any idea's how it arrived in my inbox please? I do not have a HOTMAIL address or anything similar.

Hello,
maria.magicparade-(com)

It is a dating agency if you are all fed up with family history.

Have you tried right-clicking on it and choosing "Properties" then "Details" and "Message Source"? There should be more info in there about where it came from and how it got to you.

Kite Runner, Thank you I have just taken a look and it includes my name and ISP and has a spam score of 50 and from a Yahoo site. There appears to be masses of names and codes here.
In four years this is the first spam message that I have received on this ISP. Fingers crossed I do not get more.

Hi Margaret, that turned up in my Bulk folder as well, I deleted it as soon as. Like you that is the first spam I have had with Yahoo.

[Vivienne]

Ooo, I lie! Just remembered there was that time, a few years ago, when lots of us got stuff connected to GR but nothing else.

Can't understand it because I get loads of spam through BT Yahoo mail - at least 12 a day, sometimes more. What's your secret?

So do I Stella but I never open any

Neither do I Kathleen, just delete the lot.
