bajalou - 12-5-2010 at 10:40 AM

Just received the following at a different Email address than I use at Baja Nomads - but note the reference to this board.

"Hello,

and i become interested in you please write me back through this my mail contact at .bajanomad.com
so that i will give you full explanation of myself. and my picture i am Waiting to see your quick reply thanks from,

I didn't find her as a member so haven't been able to see the picture of this "young single pretty girl"

DENNIS - 12-5-2010 at 10:56 AM

I'm pretty sure it's Jennifer Aniston. Hurry, Lou, before she changes her mind. Here's her foto:

I read my email off-line and regularly get mail from people I don't recognize. No attachments are ever opened though, or links clicked..

When people have their e-mail in their profiles, is there a way to filter what is sent to them??? Just wondering.

I know that when we all set up the Bahia Asuncion Website, we immediately received the typical letters from Nigeria, etc.---they have slowed down, but spam still gets through.

Whenever you have to list your e-mail address, use this format:

Yourname (at) hotmail.com - NOTE: to reply, remove the (at) and insert @

Someone did that once and I actually tried to e-mail him/her using the (at) instead of inserting the @---It was one of those real DUH, slap self on the side of the head moments. :lol::lol::lol:

Well....there is one listed in your profile, Lou. Why don't you get rid of it? Might save you some hassles down the road.

I thought Monica wanted only me..........

Betcha it's the email address associated with this user account (and on public display):

If so, that's why.

Monica found us though the community website----since there is a group involved in it, well that must say that Monica is interested in groups. :biggrin:

We decided not to open the e-mail. She must be very busy to find so many people in different places. :lol::lol:

sanquintinsince73 - 12-6-2010 at 04:46 PM

I got one too.

HI Lou i got the same email up here in denver

Cypress - 12-7-2010 at 11:19 AM

Had some SPAM yesterday, sliced about 1/2 inch thick and pan fried. Served with a little gravey and a baked potatoe on the side.;)

mcfez - 12-28-2010 at 04:28 PM

I get emails all the time from these e_chicks

I have a dedicated machine (PC) to open emails only. There's too much stuff going on......including opening up virus hitchhikers from family/business emails.

Any nasty stuff I get...I redirect to sanquintinsince73 :o

elgatoloco - 12-28-2010 at 07:21 PM

ESET rocks!

From what I know of about Lou, he's an adventursome type guy.
