Hi Judy - anything else unusual happening - I had a virus in my computer a week or so back - had to get what the guy called a "clean write" - (need to have important stuff backed up) - anyway all fixed now - maybe you have a virus.

Thought of that an hour ago and now running a full scan, so far found nothing BUT no more emails either so keeping my fingers crossed....thanks all

Your emails contain 32 character tags called hash. Is every email the same or are the hash strings different ?

Did you sign up to a website that required your email and a password ?

Could be a spammer with a bug so you got all the emails insteads of hundreds of different people.

Shouldn't last long, once they find their error....

Hi judy,

I got simular ones but not as many I was advised not to try to open it and to change my pass word.

Judy,

I would contact the email provider. Someone may have accessed your email account.
