Oh dear, way back last week in a Poll thread about Govt. protecting us from the Internet, I was stupid enough to say
I opened an email today that I thought was OK and came to one of my addresses that has never had spam before - silly me. Said it was an e-card and it could well have been. Deleted it quickly and of course didn't click any links but expect the damage is done.
Should have known - that was the start. First one a day on that address, then two - it's started. On an address I never use on a website and thought was safe. Not asking for advice as I know there are all sorts of things I can do. Just warning - if you do something silly like I did, don't let THEM know. THEY are everywhere, just watching and waiting to pounce.
