Spamemail

Just got an email supposedly from a friend, but it was about getting out of debt and definitely not from her. Others have received it too, she wants to know what to do about this and I have suggested she email her contacts telling them not to open it. Any other suggestions?

get her to change her email password

Hasn't got an M&S account has she?

[ummmm]

Yep...change password. My account used to do that but it was about diet pills...

Anyone can send a message appearing as though it's from anyone else. We used to send each other emails from [email protected] and the queen and so on.
