A couple of spam/phishing-related tales. Amongst today’s haul of junk mail I received this, apparently from “BT Connect Customer Service <info0009@btconnect.com>”: Dear Esteemed Customers, Due to management problems, your btconnect email will have to be verified by our customer service department due to large amount of spam complains.

Section 106
June 10th, 2008 · 10 Comments · Politics
Last week the Crawley News included the regular insert from the council: Crawley Live.
