Hotmail help

[Walker363]

Hi

 

For the last few weeks I have been getting junk emails from folk and been getting told I have been forwarding junk mail to other folk on my hotmail contacts and I am wondering how do I stop this. I have tried different settings on my hotmail account to stop it but no success and I am starting to get really annoyed.

 

It is one of scam emails I keep getting and want to stop them getting emailed to me. Thanks in advance.

You will be lucky to stop it on hotmail. As for people saying you have been sending e-mails you either have a virus that you are not aware of or your e-mail address has been cloned.

Thanks - What does cloned mean ?

 

Hacked no doubt ?

A clone is an identical copy of something and is a term that first became familiar to the public from the biosciences. In the computer industry, the term became widely used in referring to imitations of the IBM PC by Compaq, Dell, and others. Clones of the PC allowed users to purchase a comparable personal computer at a much lower price than that offered by IBM and helped make PCs affordable for more people.

No its not hacked, they are just hiding the original e-mail address with a copy of yours. You will never stop spam I have an e-mail address that I haven't given to anyone and it is only used for one specific thing yet that gets spam.
