I made the same mistake when I first got a computer, by clicking the unsubscribe links. In the end i was getting nearly all spam in my inbox. I'm glad you're finding loads of good stuff in my posts Alan, I didn't know it was there :lol: Cheers Alan Barry Hi Alan, You’re right to advise your friend to ignore the emails as it does confirm to the sender that they’ve got a live email address and add it to the data base that then goes viral.

Like you, I often get this crap in my emails. Unfortunately they are becoming more and more convincing, and more people are being taken in. I know one chap who prided himself in sending abusive emails back (most don't deliver any way). I gently informed him that all he was achieving was letting the crooks know he was actually there. They didn't until now. He wondered why his emails were growing exponentially, and he was getting tons of 'kit enhancement' and 'performance improvement product' offers sent to him. They simply passed the word round. He had to change his email in the end. I must go now though. I've just been contacted to let me know I've won 5million Euros in the nigerian Lottery, so I'm off to get it after I send a handling fee. Funny. I don't even remember entering. Still, that's their problem. Never look a gift horse . . . There's loooaaads of good stuff in your posts. Had you noticed. T'ra Alan (15)
