[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1913736, member: 175845"] A good way to do a quick chek on such outfit's SPAM is to just ask Google and just include a statement such as you posted as a search phrase, ie: "I have just had an email from 'watsapp' " or substitute any other name of the organization it says it was from and you should get several hits, something like this: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.google.com/search?q=I+have+just+had+an+email+from+%27watsapp%27&oq=I+have+just+had+an+email+from+%27watsapp%27&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i64.3166j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8[/URL] EDIT: here's an article about such scamming messages: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/science-technology/1474680/WhatsApp-Gmail-Outlook-warning-scam-messages[/URL] But hopefully most users know about these already and just delete and Trash them. - Patrick ======= [/QUOTE]
