Hi Steve,
That is good advice! I have had these and other problems with my email. I will only open emails that are from senders that I am familiar with. I have had others advise me to do this too. There will be no benefit to the hackers or hi-jackers if we ignore their emails. Take care.

Unless I know who its from, and I trust the person enough that they don't send junk I know is a waste of time to look at. Besides that, why worry about it, its simply something to ignore and that is that (smile). If anybody makes a post with junk mail in the group, we can simply ignore it and not comment on it. Comments on it is wasting our time and finger tip strength (smile). I would rather email a friend rather than comment on it. Take care, keep a smile on your face!

They are usually helpful, if you set all emails to go to your original email box, you should be-able to spam unwanted emails and report it, I'm not sure what sort of junk emails that people are receiving or whether they are easy enough to identify as junk ? and I don't know if any of it helps, but if not then I'm sure someone will have the right answers, don't let it put anyone off, Have a great day everyone :)
