If it's something you were not expecting then yes very likely.

If you're not sure, leave it well alone.

Unless you've submitted a photo and article to "campus life", it's spam or a virus, yes

If someone is writing to you for the first time, they'll put your name in it, say where they got your contact details, etc etc.

My favourite one so far is one that purports to have a spreadsheet, with all the salary info on it.

But yeah, better than nude farmgirl action or whatever.

god...hotmail, keep forgetting to open it to see mails.

Why is it so annoying to get to the inbox? a load of other shite comes up first.

JoolsToo · 30/01/2006 16:22

I've deleted loads of emails from named people simply because I've never heard of them or I never enetered a particular competition.

Some are spooky for instance I use my name backwards as an email address and I got an email from someone who had done the same (with a similar name) and attached a photo and the title was the name of one my grandchildren

I'm always very curious but thankfully I've not let it get the better of me!

NotQuiteCockney · 30/01/2006 16:22

You can set up your outlook so it sucks mail down from hotmail.

JoolsToo · 30/01/2006 16:23

LTH - I recently opened a hotmail account and found exceedingly annoying - someone on here (sorry I forget who) sent me an invite for googlemail - its brilliant.

thanks very much whoever you were

moondog · 30/01/2006 16:26

How do they get one's e mail address to send all the crap about Viagra and sensational penes??
(It's ok,already have one thanks)

Only just started happening-very annoying.
Is there a way to stop them?

LadyTophamHatt · 30/01/2006 16:49

ohhhh, goooglemail.....how do I get that then?

BTW Jools, has GDG house sold? I've been thinking about her alot in my absence.

hunkermunker · 30/01/2006 16:52
