Dear Client
We have obtained your order and we will process it soon.
The details of the invoice are below:
babytoysbaby.com
Bye for now
Hector Marlow

Considering I don't have kids and haven't purchased any baby toys at all, I'm going to say that its a dodgy one. Also the zip file extension on the end of the url is a bit of a giveaway...

Just thought I'd let forum members know.

I also checked out the url babytoysbaby.com... no such website exists.

Why? What are we supposed to do about your emails?
We all get this sort of thing - well some, most is filtered out by spam filters.

1364295 2014-01-05 01:50:00 Its OK, invalid URL now, the hosting has been suspended.

Though as pctek said, 9/10 of us have some sort of spam filtering, like Gmails built-in stuff. Not likely to come here and have a look to see if an email we've received matches this one and then know not to open it as a result ;) Appreciate the sentiment though.

Then they probably shouldn't be allowed near a computer...

Hey both my son and daughter are also Marine officers over there . . . he's in the Merchant navy, and she's in the Royal Navy, so there shouldn't be

any problems .

Just let me know what vessel are you assigned to and your home base?
