Had this sent to my hotmail account.... obviously a dodgy email but what i cant figure is how exactly they hope to gain from it? no weird web link to dload a virus... no premium rate numbers to call ( just what appears to be a mobile ) and no asking me for my bank account details and stuff. Very odd indeed!
Have a read and see what you think.......
