My RL name isn't chipped (funnily enough) so why have I received email to my personal account saying "Dear Chipped"?

How secure is this site Justine?

Weird.Confused. I too will be watching this thread with interest as a colleague sent me an e-mail this week addressed to my POF username and I haven't been on there for over two years.Confused

It's from a company that sells bras, not MN HQ.

When I receive emails in response to reports they are always addressed to Dear Username though they go to my [email protected] email

AnyFucker · 05/06/2014 22:49

what email ?

An email from MNHQ ? Or from an unsolicited, seemingly unconnected source ? That would be a bit worrying.
