Hi Andrea now I'm slightly more confused as these images do not appear to be current and the name andrea is female?

Andrea is a man's name in some countries.....

Yeah that had occurred to me but it would have ruined my email

lol got two of these now. What made me laugh was: "we only have 578 >names left" LOL. The bbc link goes to an article written in 2001. And if that was the case they would start deleting un-accessed accounts every month like that have been doing anyway. Anyway, thought it was quite amusing. It's probably true now i've gone slating it off

just trying to fish for email addresses for spamming by the looks of it, that's what most chain emails are for.

had it several times last night, including a couple dated several years ago - do they not realise that emails dated years ago look even more suspicious and also don't appear onscreen when your inbox is showing your up-to-date mail? stupid criminals
