Odd Emails
Today I received an email supposed to be from a friend, but it looked odd, even though it was signed off in his christian name.
There was just one line saying he thought I might be interested in the link he provided.
It didn't 'feel' right, and the link looked all gobble-de-gook letters and words.
I deleted it.
I then emailed my friend and asked him if he had sent this and he said No, he hadn't.
Now strangely enough, a second peculiar email came from another friend. (These two friends don't know each other).
This second email also looked suspicious.
It started with my first name - but no 'Hi/hello/dear' - just the name, and then contained a link only.
Once again, it was signed off in my friends christian name.
This one too, was immediately deleted, and I then did a full scan, plus cleared other bits and bobs too.
This is playing on my mind a bit tonight, because it is something I don't understand and have no answers for.
Does anyone know whether my account is in danger from hackers, or is it my friend's accounts that have been compromised?
It seems a very strange coincidence to receive TWO emails with hours of each other, don't you think?
Thanks for any opinons.
