Spam in your Inbox? Beware. (1 Viewer)

[Emmit]

Hi All,

Not putting myself up as a font of knowledge, but,
Just before Crimble I started getting loads of Spam/Scam in my E Mail.

It was all from the Indian overseas territories. The content was of no importance.

I invariably checked the 'address' of the sender and it always ended "ie" The emails thus received were 'Blocked' by me.

Here's the important bit. Yesterday I got another yesterday and I would have 'Blocked' it but I noticed that the senders address WAS MY OWN EMAIL ADDRESS!!!

Had my brain been in sleep mode I would have blocked my own address which would have meant receiving no further genuine emails into my account.

I've come to the conclusion that there are some slime balls about.

WAS MY OWN EMAIL ADDRESS!!!

I went through a period of having the same with one of my email addresses ... it went on for some time and I just deleted them and it stopped eventually.

I use gmx with a mailsweep facility but sometimes I need a document in my main account, so I do have that as one of my contacts in each separate account. If one of my accounts gets a bug, it sends emails to my other accounts, often with the salutation "hello friend"! Clearly I can spot this and do not block it, merely delete it. It also gives me a quick indication that lots of other folk might be getting unwanted messages, so I can dash of a "sorry" note.

Does anyone get any through MH fun? I get the email alerts saying someone has posted and every now and then get ones with unfamiliar names and subjects seem to be "supplements " and "vitamins " although I never open the email, just delete. If I block, it would block all motorhome fun.

Is that a nod to Elliot Alderson?
