I just got an email forwarded from PH mail thing that read:

"If you ewant Hugh@hotmail.co.uk email me "

tbh I would quite like it..... but the lack of any information about how its from makes me slightly suspicious that someone might just be trying to get my email address. I dont know why they'd want it its only a @msn.com address anyway.

Am I been paranoid of is this a scam...

If whoever sent me this reads this and it is genuine then I'm sorry for doubting your integrity.

thanks

Hugh

There was a thread a few weeks ago saying how you could register a hotmail.co.uk addy before it was fully on-line so to speak - that meant you got to pick a good name before anyone else got it

I'll try and find it for you

Easily found ....and was actually posted way back in November - doesn't time fly.

From your post it would appear that someone has registered it - and wants to give/sell it to you.

Not sure of the PH name of the person I got it from, except he is called Ben!

It was this ben that gave you the address, dont know why I registered it tbh, I have nothing to do with Hughes one though. Wouldnt have thought its a scam, just make sure you change the password etc.
