I just got this in the mail it says I have a posty, I am kinda leary as I have never heard of this site. Have any of you ever heard of a this address?



I just got 2 e-mails and I am not sure about
where the mail came from. It says
grannyflaky@exe.It says I have a posty to be
picked up. I am not going to open them. Could this be a virus?
Thanks so much

Delete 'em.

Exe.'s are executable programs, not postcards from Grandma.

perplexed,

It is a general rule to never open anything in your email that has an .exe extension on it unless you know the source realy realy well, and then sometimes you know them, but they don't realize that it's a virus. Play it safe. If you don't know who it's from remove it and don't look back.

:) Save yourself the headache :)
