They occasionally pop up from time to time - I've had them with my connection with the branch websites.

The pattern is invariably the same - they want help / amazon vouchers / an unspecified favour doing.

They are all false spam emails that the spamee cannot do anything about.

Best just to delete them.

I'm glad I've seen this. My e mail was asking me to confirm my e mail address, thought it was odd, haven't replied.

I have also received an odd email from Bill (not asking for money). I guess his email has been hacked.
