Spy Doctor spam/con
Anyone received a mail purporting to be from Spy Doctor & including a zipped folder containing an invoice for £79.39? I've had 2 this
afternoon. Anyone else suffering?

Yes,
by emailing them back they now know that your email address is a live address. Be prepared for lots more spam 
That's unless they've borrowed someone elses mail address to send it.

Has some villain been scanning this site?
The reason I ask is that I haven't received this spam, and I haven't shown my e-mail in this forum's "personal details"
area.

Strange you should say that Marcy and David ! The email addy it came in on, is only used for this site.
Must go and try and make the email 'spam-safe' before any other spam blighters harvest it!.....Very remiss of me

The reason I said it was because it's happened before, a year or so ago.
