If it is from GR they may have had a few more viewers if they had made it clear who it was from. I did open the e mail, but deleted straight away thinking it could do some harm. Lynda x

**Take a look on Gwen Dragonfly's similar thread** Looks like lots of us have been targeted, yet in GR's privacy policy, they claim to hate spam!! Mandy :(

Not hadone for my account (H0tmail) but had one from my cousins account (my yah00 addy) To change addy for GR go to My account Details and change your address. h0tmail, yah00 and google all provide free mail if you need a new addy.

I received a similar one to Dragonfly with Deborah website. Hard to tell if came from GR as I use my name and surname as username on GR and also sender was a Linda Petersons from aol address (no idea who that is). Deleted and blocked senders address.

It looks like someone connected to GR has been sending out spam mail with a www link. Had one come through, and opened it, but did not go onto link, and have now deleted it. Have e mailed GR (See dragonflys thread). Just wondered how many more had received anything?
