Not genuine then George? - Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: "George Bell" <george@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, July 03, 2007 4:03 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Skipe | Hi Andy, | | I get lots of these messages too.

The bit | that seemed odd to | me, was that in the message was a woman's Skipe name, asking | me to add her | to my contacts if I join! | | Hmmm, bemused! | | - Andy | | ----- Original Message ----- | From: "Christopher Hallsworth" | <chrishallsworth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> | To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> | Sent: Tuesday, July 03, 2007 10:33 AM | Subject: [access-uk] Re: Skipe | | || Andy, this sounds like spam to me.
