germann Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 The call may have originated from a voip service which offers free 0800 numbers. Example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebees Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Quite unrelated but none the less a strange going on.....Over the last couple of days I have received e-mails 'from myself', with random numbers as a subject and random numbers in the message body, my initial thought was that it was a virus, but there was no attachment. I had a look into where the mail had come through, it was a Spanish hosting company who arent blacklisted as spam senders. Anyone else been getting weird mail into their .Manx accounts? or does anyone know what these things are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mission Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I've had a couple like that too - just binned it without even reading it. No idea what it is, probably spam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebees Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Yeah but, no but, why? Usually spam is giving me penis enlargements, viagra, vallium, rolex watches and the chance to buy shares, what is 969 - 1545453? it is quite mysterious. I dont usually bother with spam or virused mail but this is neither, its just strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b4mbi Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 i had one like that today. I love that I send emails to myself... Perhaps it's the beginning of an Independance Day style takeover by aliens using our communications network to destroy life on earth. Or something....

Beckett Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 0800 stopped as guaranteed toll free numbers some years ago 0800 is a toll free number. Are you sure? Does sound like a scam, but a weird one if you're right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
