Hi all,

Today Li has received an email from Alan Turner asking re health and hows life in TRNC and how is TRNC looking after her..... WOW i hear you say, and to confirm email address. (which is not her own) so how they got her on that email address we dont know! Nor know who she is.



Thing is we dont know Alan Turner nor do we know the other recipient it was CCd to Malcolm Cox



The email was titled 'long overdue docs'..... Whats that about!? And this person looks forward to her reply?!



Not impressed is she by this slightly dubious email. Has anyone received anything similar or heard of these people.



Thanks all. Await to hear before further follow up.

Surely the wisest thing to do is ignore it. If there is any link or attachment, don't click on either, or youcould have a nasty virus rushing onto your hard drive and killing your computer.



IU had a weird e mail yesterday from my step daughter in U.K, asking me to join something (click onthe link), but of course when I queried it, my step daughter hadn't sent it at all. There is an increasing number of e mails being 'stolen' and used.



One can report this as phishing, but best really to delete and stay safe with a healthy computer.



One final thought - I know there is a company which is going to try to sell health insurance to n.Cyprus, so maybe this is a 'feeler'



Take care.
