Morning Gibbo, not seen one like that at all, but Amman, Jordan looks highly suspicious. I delete anything I don't know where it has come from.
Thanks for the tip.

hi gibbo

I reckon it's a scam. You could always send an email to Microsoft support

I deleted it Dave Im not going to bother doing anything with it. If i get any more i'll just delete them as well.

Why dont those little gremlins go and do something worthwhile instead of annoying people with bogas emails

I keep getting one from a Doctor Um Bongo who is desperatly seeking my assistance...apparently he has a spare two million US dollars that he needs to put into my account...after i give him my account number.

Makes you wonder how many people fall for that. Those scammers must clear out lots of bank accounts

i had a few of those Lee but no more appeared after I clicked reply and said I'd accept a cheque mailed to a PO Box number

I get quite of a few of those in my junk mail. Very often security alerts from " banks ". Watch out too for those annoying 'phone calls claiming to be from a bank. I always put down the 'phone ... how do you know they are who they claim to be?
