Is this SPAM

I am getting a lot of emails from someone called Updatemailone.com . I have not opened any of them but did do a search and found it is an outfit in Korea. Mostly the titles refer to Open Office. Is anyone else getting this mail?

    Looks dodgy, sounds dodgy - I would spam it!

    my first guess is yes it is spam but really it's impossible to say if it is spam.
    what is the subject of the email?
    what email service are you using? gmail normally catches all spam
    you say it looks like openoffice, have you ever given your email to openoffice? if you havent it is 99.99999% likely it is spam
    if it is spam just hit the 'junk' 'mark as spam' button, if you still keep getting them to your inbox then just set up a filter or rule to always send to junk

    Are you actually expecting emails from Korea, or from anyone with that email domain name?

    No? Then there's the obvious answer...

    I had already got rid of them and didn't open any. I do all my banking on line and won't take risks with unsolicited mail.

    Thank you all.
