Spamming Scam - from Sainsburys :spam: (MERGED THREADS)

Thanks for posting that Weymouth Man, I had this email from a friend this morning - I did delete it as I hate chains of any type but some people may respond. At least I can tell my friend why I didnt carry it on

Why people don;t just Google the relevant words in these emails I will never understand - it comes up straight away as a hoax at the top of the search.

Hi Weymouth Man

I hope that you don't mind but I am going to move your thread to the Warnings & Rip-Off MoneySaving Board, where hopefully you will get more replies

Anal , definitely Anal - .... Nah just kidding - I do exactly the same thing, and as someone else here has said I don't comprehend why people don't check (eg on google) before forwarding e-mails of this nature

It's still going round. I had it today. I took the time to reply to all the twerps :rolleyes: in the forwarded email who refered their friends to the spammers.

I just received it now so its still going round, obviously automatically suspicous as I couldn't see Sainsburys doing that, also it wasn't there domain so very very dodgy. Googled it and found it was a hoax.

Don't think it is a virus or a spammer just an idiot started it and its going everywhere.
