    :embarasse:wink::lovethougI'm suddenly very popular with some VERY naughty ladies offering me all kinds of treats, they all seem to live very near me. I've also had 8 or 9 deposits of $3,456,654 in my pay pal account lately. Must claim it.

    Yes, I've started getting the women offering all sorts of things in my comping email, but also a lot of spam in my normal email- I only use that one for entering competitions with well-known companies I use and buy stuff from.

    Suspect someone has gained access to a mailing list...

    I'm quite comforted by this thread - not that I'd wish it on you guys. But it's a relief to know it's not just me. A lot of them don't go into 'junk' like they mostly used to.

    I've had a naughty lady offering me a walking aid after she puts $$$ in my account.

    Correction - it's actually my sister threatening to break my legs (again) unless I put the $$$ I owe into her account.
