Thanks very much, this sort of info is always really useful to the people using these boards. Would you mind very much if I made a suggestion? There is another thread entitled 'here we go again' on a completely different subject, so do you think it might be an idea to change yours to something like 'email warning' - and it would also encourage more people to have a look at your helpful info. Thanks again, hope you don't mind suggestion. Mandy x

I get e-mails from Nigeria, Sierra Leone, South Africa, and you name it, from people offering to give me money ..... millions.....I wish!!! It is a scam, and I get so fed up with them. Also, ones telling me that I have won a lottery, that I didn't even enter. Apart from advertising spam that I also get, these e-mails drive me mad. Every time I get spam, or scamming e-mails like these, I block them and bounce back to sender as if my e-mail address doesn't exist, and then delete them, in the hope that I won't get any more, but I always do. They just come from a different address. SOOO ANNOYING!! Lisa xx
