I am wondering if someone would know the answer. My Niece has a Hotmail e-mail account. It would appear that someone or somehow her address book contacts have been contactged and we are all receiving an e-mail from her (but not her, if you see what I mean, it is Spam) and I wonder how this can be prevented as it reflects very badly on her particularly where professional people she has come in to contact with are receiving these e-mails. I suggested she close the Account. I know I can block the e-mails and that is not a problem for me but people like lawyers and Principles and I mean pleural, yes are receiving these e-mails from her. Any ideas how to stop it? The professional people are getting very annoyed about this. At first it was understandable but it is now reflecting badly on her.
