I had one yesterday, which I looked at, because I thought it was from a contact (by coincidence had the first name of one contact and surname of another). When I went into the dating agency, I deleted the mail. I am not a member of Friends - never completed the registration. Jay |

Mine was a h*tmail one too and had gone into junk mail. It was from Jacqueline Carter and just said hi Christine. I opened it as I thought of Friends R straight away as I am looking for someone with that surname and it was just a link to a dating site, so deleted it straight away and reported as Junk.

If it is these site's I am disgused. I always click,'no third parties', h*tmail is different, unless someone can advise me otherwise. On OE, at least you can check which email addy it has come thru, but to be honest, I receive more on my genalogy addy than anywhere ele. Kim. |

Hi everyone, I had one yesterday using my first name and I too thought it could have been through Friends R as that is the only site that I have registered that address with. Christine in Portugal |

Selina That is scary, I had them a while ago when pm's from here looked like they'd already been opened, that has stopped now, but then no one pm's me anyway! lol I just want to know how I have got an email quoting my 1st name, as i said, this email addy does not show my name, the only site it's registered to is FR.

I have an email addy with h*tmail, that is totally obscure, that I only use for Friends Reunited. I have just received an email quoting my first name!? my email addy has nothing to do with my name or anything about me. I know there has been a thread before regarding emails received with names from this site, has it now progressed to FR? Kim |
