SPAM or unsolicited pyramid emails from (ostensibly) kids
Is anyone else plagued with this?
I have set up filters to remove them before my inbox and as my desktop is unusually secure I don't worry too much. However, seeing that quite a number of the emails carry disclaimers stating this email is the property of ... etc and actually giving named individuals and their phone numbers I have taken to calling them and gently but firmly encouraging to remove my email address from their computers... suggesting that if not, proceedings may follow!
Warwickshire is introducing yet more software and on-line time into the PRIMARY classroom, with emails and passwords afresh. It is only a personal view but I think this is seriously retrograde. I have yet to see any substantive evidence that responsible internet use is actually being practised and the security measures are risible!
