Re: Spam Email


It is sent from him via eurogiveaways - when you sign up you can link your yahoo or hotmail address books and it sends that to everyone in your address book. It does just look like spam, I'd rather write my own if I was going to do it!

Re: Spam Email


aye its one of those annoying "tell everyone in yoru msn/yahoo/aol instant messenger account" about us things, they are popular on sites like bebo etc

I personally hate such features but i can see why some people like them

whoever sent it to you has you on their yahoo/msn/etc list
