    Spam,

    Ive had these kinds of things several times

  • This seems like so many attempted scams - some of which have caused considerable problems with my computer picking up hijacking programmes that are hard to get rid of. I'm a bit concerned that this one turned up in my inbox. I don't know if anyone has advice but I am inundated with spam from the USA which urge me to take out car insurance at $9 a day and other similar offers?
  • Spam. I get these several times a day. If you try to unsubscribe you're really just confirming your e-mail address for more spam. Very annoying and wish something could be done about it.

    This is what I love about this site, you can check out anything if you're not sure and get the answer you thought. I got the email today. Shame I could've done with a new phone, but knowing my luck I'd end up winning an actual apple :rotfl:

    Have reported the email as spam!!

  • Hi

    This is still doing the rounds, just received exactly the same email! I looked up Bonotours and this site was the first result, so thought I'd let people know they're still at it!!

    I totally agree with all of the comments above - If I were you I would google the 'activate link' - i'm on a mac but I think on a PC you just right click and select copy link (without clicking to open it if you see what I mean) to see if there are any other online reports of the link :)
