Hi,

Over the last few days I've started receiving loads of emails, with the same subject of RE: myname (being my hotmail address name which is actually my name).

All the emails are referring to how great my pic is in my profile and they give me a msn name to chat to. I don't have a profile.

I'm assuming these are spam?? Does anyone know? or got them yourself?
My other hotmail account doesn't get them.

Either that or someone has created a profile somewhere with my name and my email address?

:mad:

If your hotmail name resembles a real name, as mine does, it'll match hundreds of different concatenations that are randomly produced by spam and junk mail sites.

Short of changing your email address there is very little you can do.
