I have two questions.

1/ Anyone got any good suggestions for blocking email stuff.

2/ Is there any way that it is actually genuine and I am now a multi - millionaire.

1/ I'll move this post over to the Techie board for the best suggestions for this problem

2/ Don't be silly. This has SPAM written all over it

Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere(please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [Removed by Forum Team]

this is definately spam. accounts like googlemail and the like normally pick this up. you can get urself a decent Internet Security Package (kasperky / antivir) etc and that should filter all this out. Make sure you dont click on any links.

See if your ISP offers any free internet security software. Comodo is always a good and safe bet for FREE internet security
