this is better than the hotmail one because its more easy to see, the hotmail one isnt all that visible at first glance tbh.
you know paperless, sending one back isnt a good idea. it will just bounce of their server making the whole thing pointless and so increases spam email traffic or they might actually have a script that scans all the replies and then finds all the email address in it, that way they are sure they there is someone at the other end reading them, so you will probably get more.

I almost fell for one before.  I recommend sending off to the appropriate company and letting them know about it.  They can lookup the fake domain and take it from there.

i cant use hotmail in school, my stupid new head of it bastard block all sites that were linked to messenger programs, including mess.be so i have to use gmail, he thinks if we have hotmail in school all we will do is chat, asswipe. he wants us to use the crappy chool acounts that are moniterd by people and are crap and have a .5mb atachment limit and suck and he knows nothing about anything, he has to have the technitions help him all the time and hes an ass, an i hope to god he doesnt teach computing next year. and i hope he dies. and loses his pathetic stutter that keeps us behind before luch while he attepmts to talk.

any way yay gmail

lol, not too much of the hate Kingforaday :P Well in 6th form we all have our own laptops so technically nothing should be blocked. If it is, I'll probably use a proxy or something... And gmail is better than hotmail anyway. The whole hotmail page looks bloated and there are large adverts and links to laods of microsoft crap. I much prefer gmail, especially when it says hooray! no spam here!
