also …. can any of the ladies recall what the e mail title was ? Ive been told they differed, also not something a virus would do, change the title to suit the recipient ??? :D
the one i had go out was the same title to everyone coathanger was something to do with holiday pics if i recall correctly dunno if that helps anyone
Do you mean the one you received ?
no coat the one that went out to all my contacts from my addy
sorry sweetheart, yes, exactly my point …. the emails received ‘ allegedly’ from Joke had different titles. Ask the ladies involved xx
oh i see coat, well i hate all that hacking business so anyone that does it is in the wrong, my point was not to assume it was someone without actually knowing thats all, i know i would have hated it if ppl had genuinely thought i had sent out the one that went from mine, fortunately no one did and i picked up on it pretty quick and was able to e mail saying dont open it lol
Yes , I agree, unfortunately it happens … nowt more strange than folk ey ?? cause disruption and hassle for no reason, and not kids doing it either , more than likely Grandfathers, and in some cases Grandmothers, should be ashamed !! sad lives.

Quite often the malicious e-mails are sent from a hacked account where the address list is used in BCC – next the title will be something like pics or hey so you think it is a genuine e-mail. But when you open the e-mail there is a banner that says click here to see the pics. This link has your e-mail address in it and if you click it you are then risking downloading malicious software.
If more than one e-mail is sent the title is likely to be different
Safest thing is to delete the e-mail without clicking the link
My email was just entitled ….Hey.
As the person concerned claims to be banned and cannot answer for himself here maybe we should let this thread be now.
Im not a techie I know weird things can happen with emails… as far as this person is concerned there will never be any future dialogue between us so its not an issue for me …. as for others well at least we have highlighted the dangers of opening suspect emails from whatever source.
That is precisely why I have typed what I have – so people do NOT open an email from me! The rest of it, I have already typed out, as have a couple of others on threads too btw!!!!! :evil:
