Strange emails

[Deleted User]

Not had any of these but I get actual pictures sent to my personal email and I've had some corkers! I have firstname.lastname@address and I have a common name so so many people try to get my address, fail and have to add numbers or something, then forget and dish out my address as their own. I've got at least 10 different people with my name that have done this so far from across the globe. People really need to be much more careful, I've had enough info through to completely assume the life of a lady in Australia!! If a wrong email comes from a person and not a business I reply and let them know but it falls on deaf ears, I've had some seriously personal stuff come to me!

i've had these emails and mine have come from every network available!! as OP mentions the email address they are sent to isnt mine? and the inbox they are arriving into isnt one i use for comping so not sure how or why this is happening!!

Also had emails from a Russian Forum.

Deleted them all.

Yeah, mine are appearing in my junk mail so just deleted them - Mines from vodaphone!

Hi nelie,

You're absolutely right to delete the email if you're unsure it's from us.

Should you receive any more, could you forward them to phishing@vodafone.co.uk so we can investigate things further and then delete it?

Kind regards,

Thank you for taking the trouble to reply. I got another one this morning and will forward it to the address you gave us.

I had one too from o2 which happens to be my network - very odd!

I get these quite a bit too -- but they tend to give themselves away as a virus/trojan by including the photo as a zip or exe file.

I've also been getting a lot of these the past few days. Just deleting them straight away.

Yes, I've been receiving them on my main, and my comping e-mail accounts for the past five days.

Just deleted them.
