"Spam..."

Seems to be on the rise again for me, anyone else getting this?

Deleted 3 emails this week from an Enrique Alvarez, turns out they weren't spam and my dad had been waiting for them!

The surname isn't correct pete ... me being Irish it should be O'brien ... perhaps spam haha :¬D But not had this one yet, or any for the last few days.

BT must really like me as none of my neighbours seem to have been offered this, sucks to be them!

Not as yet pete ... nothing today.

Absolutely loads coming through last couple of days, usual rubbish. Anyone else getting this?

Yep, that's a good one!

Still getting them as well, all accounts.

New one just now pete ... from Royal Mail Group ...

"Royal Mail has detained your package for some reason (for example, lack of a proper invoice, bill of sale, or other documentation, a possible trademark violation, or if the package requires a formal entry) the RM International Mail Branch holding it will notify you of the reason for detention (in writing) and how you can get it released."

Thanks Freeola ...

"This is a message from the Freeola E-Mail Virus Protection Service
The original e-mail attachment "Royal-Mail_BA20C1D702.zip"
is on the list of unacceptable attachments for this site and has been

:¬)

Getting loads coming through again also on accounts previously not effected. Had 3 of the virus attachment type today on one account and 1 more on another (not an email-pro account so actually got the virus on that one, luckily A/V zapped it). One type looks like a government gateway receipt (hadn't seen of those before) which isn't ideal as we actually get real ones on one of these accounts. Getting a bit fed up with this TBH.

Excellent find pete ... that's the 'b*gger' ... except I think that address was different to the one quoted, but that is to be expected! Nice one ;¬)

DL, looks like your mate Graham Nevin has been quite busy

Perhaps it was Fred Billys day off!
