Unsafe E.mails

[julia-mag]

I have received a message on my normal e.mail a/c from DG. Is this scam site does anyone know? I am afraid to open it because I do not want a virus etc. It is headed up - I have been trying to reach you...

[julia-mag]

this message left out the e.mail sender that I quoted. why?. It was DG

[julia-mag]

It has done it again. ! Sorry you can't see it. Nevermind I won't open it.

If in doubt just delete.

That sort of header is trying to get your attention. Delete it.

What's dg?

[julia-mag]

Thanks Mamya I will do that, I was wondering how it got past the 'scam' site and into my proper site.

The spam filters can't spot everything, julia - if it looks respectable, they sometimes sneak though.

Sorry to hear that jm.
Not me honest ! lol DG

presumably it's something dodgy if AB's own filters ban it?

Anyway, if it's from someone you don't know, don't read it. In the normal run of things you shouldn't get emails from anyone you haven't given your address to.

Director General (DG) of the Beeb?

there can only be one mantra - if you don't recognise the sender - send the sender.

I will never know the answer, because I cleared it off! Thanks everyone for your contributions
