From: SS on 11 Aug 2010 17:12 I won a bid and paid via paypal, I then receive an email for spam arrest saying click on this to verify it is not spam. Is this genuine as I have never had this before.

As it turns out the seller has this set up (as other poster has identified) to catch spam. apparently after I am on his list I dont get these emails from him. It just seemed strange at the time.

It's quite genuine, but if you've not seen it before it can be puzzling. TOG is both too old and too technologically challenged to provide any comment of use on this or most other subjects.

What a pointless system! You still end up looking through a whole pile of spam to find the genuine messages! -- Alex |
