oh and my U2U isn't working for some reason so to who ever has sent me that one, I'm not being rude I just can't open it

if you think its a scam you should be very cautious even clicking the link, all sorts of stuff can happen. Aside from being directed to a convincing fake page, clicking it confirms that someone curious uses your email address (making you a target in future) and i read the other day about a windows fault with some icons and security issues.

theres no shortage of bastards out there! At least, thats what the media tells us. Im sure most people are nice and normal, but it doesnt take many bad apples to spoil the barrel.
