Default M$ Pseudo "Patches" etc.,


Has anyone got any ideas as to when all these 'supposed' Emails from M$ are likely to get the elbow? I'm getting something like ten a day!!! I'm blocking sender each time but they all come from different addresses.
I'm also getting "Undelivered" notices with gibberish addys at least 5/6 a day. All with attachments, do these Dickheads think we're totally dumb or what?

I haven't seen any mention of this anywhere as yet or am I the only one?

Regards, Cochise.

PS. Bet I'm in the wrong List with this. LOL

Hi Cochise,

Worms posing as MS patches are not really new. Actually they are getting old pretty fast.

The one you are getting is probably Swen:

Hi Pieter,

Thanks for the information. So I guess I'm stuck with just Blocking them eh?

It just seemed strange that I only started getting them about a week ago and now their coming thick and fast, do you think it's something I said??LOL

Regards Cochise.
