That's sad, boys mum - definitely would have given a bit of a jolt.

I sometimes get spam mails that pretend to be from people in my address book. I haven't contacted those people but maybe I should?

If anyone else receives an email like this, do not click on the link in it.

I have just heard from my son who said he has received and email from Eileen's email address as well..... he used to be in contact with Eileen regarding any problems with her computer.

I will contact Christopher (Eileen's friend in Washington) and let him know about these emails.

Snap have had one too like al of you figured it was a dodgy and deleted it. However I also figured that Eileen if she wanted to contact me would think of something more original than an email.Given the circumstances.
