Certainly a very new one to me as well. No doubt many will already have whatever it is.
 
In this day and age I initially thought it was something new to save us thinking. Possibly a backside scratcher fitted with a turbo.
 
It says Payment received
IN FRENCH. 😱

Plenty of places to get email address. I’m getting on average 60 junk emails everyday and about 30 desperately trying to pay me the money I’m owed after my great x 4 grandfather left me countless millions. Didn’t realise I had Nigerian ancestors 😄
A lot of them from America offering american only deals on anything and everything, they can’t seem to understand .co.uk

Im happy with my name, never appeared on court papers or police reports. More good luck than management though.

It will catch out a few I'm sure but serves them right for using Hotmail. :)

Ive had @hotmail since early dial up days on a Tiny brand computer with a massive 4MB of memory and a 3.5 floppy.

Therese reports that the floppy is unchanged if not a tad smaller now

I was being perhaps a bit obscure. :) Since I swapped to Gmail virtually all spam has vanished, one or two a year if that. Gmail has brilliant filters which remove spam. Hotmail doesn't.

You don't have to lose your Hotmail account as there is a way to set it up to forward all incoming emails to your new Gmail account. When you reply just tell the sender to note your new email address - or don't bother as over time it will sort itself out. :)

Of course if you are happy getting spam you don't have to do this. :)

What you have to do is go into the Hotmail settings and get it to automatically forward all incoming emails to your Gmail account. I am sure you can find instructions if you Google for how to set up automatic forwarding on Hotmail. I had a quick look and this was the first which came up.

www.sanebox.com

Hotmail: How to set up automatic forwarding from one account to another account - SaneBox Help

Instructions for how to have Hotmail (Outlook.com Web) forward emails from this email address to another account.
www.sanebox.com www.sanebox.com

Once you have done this you will no longer get any Hotmail emails but you won't lose any genuine emails as they will still appear but as a Gmail. What won't get through is the spam.

I also have a gmail address and only get a couple of spam emails a year. I've set it up that any emails sent to my no longer used Yahoo! email address are forwarded to my gmail a/c which screens for spam.
With gmail I can add (have added) unwanted spam or any other email addresses to the Filter feature so that they are automatically deleted without me even having to see them. One such was from UPS with a title advising a tracking number for a special parcel delivery. I don't know exactly what they wanted me to do as I never opened them and it's now added to my filter.
 
I have a gmail account,but it turns out someone else has the same address as me ,altho ive told ee and others this they all insist its impossible for someone else to have your address , well they r wrong ive viewed his ee account and his purple parking , so i opened a hotmail account and now use that instead(but im rubbish at technical stuff). However i do know to look at the senders address when receiving scams etc :)
