- 3 February 2011 17:0591346In my post about the Royal Society of St George I used a disposable email address that is flagged up in a different colour in my inbox and can be deleted if I get too much spam from it.
It took just over 24 hours for the first one to arrive after I created the address, a nice young lady from Africa. Shows how well and widely read the forum is! - 3 February 2011 17:1891352There are robots which constantly search for text strings like *@*.* which pick up any email addresses newly posted to the web. If you put up an email address on the Internet, put (at) instead of @.I'm an optimist. But I'm an optimist who takes my raincoat - Harold Wilson
- 3 February 2011 17:2491355Peter, I know that but I wasn't sure some of the posters on here would understand how to change it back!
The disposable ones are a handy service that comes with BT broadband just for this reason, the speed mine was found just shows how active these robots are. - 3 February 2011 20:3091397ray
did this nice young lady from africa ask for any money in order that she can get access to a bank account that would you mean you would end up a mllionaire? - 3 February 2011 21:4591415Howard, don't tell me you got in first and I've missed my chance
Unfortunately some people do get taken in by it. - 3 February 2011 22:0591416you can be such a cynic at times ray, i have sent my life savings to the young lady in nigeria, it is only administrative errors in the banking system that has stopped me joining the blue barry and the rest of the super rich.
- 3 February 2011 22:5091424I keep getting emails asking me to contact bored housewives!! I suppose I could find them a few jobs to do but don't think the wife would approve lol.
- 4 February 2011 07:5791436Depends what the jobs are Alf.
I'm sure she'd be pleased to have the chores taken off of her - the ironing, dusting, vacuuming, perhaps cooking dinner and the shopping.
I'm not sure what other "jobs" your wife would like to give up.
