While I have been around the world of computers much longer than I care to admit, this Internet really baffles this grandma sometimes. Now backing up a bit, let me give you an idea (and laugh) from what cave I come. Would you believe while I was in college those hard drives were as large as a standing grandfather clock and kept behind class enclosures! lol

Anyway, I keep getting an email from the major credit rating companies (although I doubt that it is really them) with the subject line as follows
Alert: Your 2011 Credit-Report-Score Has Problems.

Obviously, I know I do not owe anyone any money so I am not worried but how in the world did they get my eaddress and an address I seldom use? Unfortunately, I seem to get those emails after I have spent hours here. Does anyone else get these types of emails?

Naturally, I have not opened any of them. Love that delete button! Thanks for your input. All Thumbs
