Not at all comp lit - Have been trying to join "trade me" tonite. It sends me the confirmation e-ml. But there is no link to clik - just an attached file called unnamed which contains a indecent spam message.
I cliked "reply" intending to report the problem but the reply address was not the one it came from but rather it bought up "amnesty something or rather". So I deleted this weird addy and manually wrote in the addy "mailer@trademe.co.nz" and reported the prob.
Next an e-ml comes back to me from there with its content being the content of an unrelated message from my inbox!
I start process again at trade me by trying to log in there - it says no cos I have never joined by clikking on confirmation e-ml - an impossibility given there was no message and nothing to clik in the so called confirmation e-ml. It offers to send me another one so I agree. It semnds me a thing titled confirmation e-ml in the subject.
But again no clik on. Just has another message consisting of stuff stolen from an unrelated e-ml in my inbox. I check that e-ml and all my received e-mls, and all now have a mysterous file called unnamed attached. Have I been unlucky and got hacked or got a virus instead of getting to join trade me the first time I tried... or what? And does this mean some stranger now
Any advice appreciated.
