Folks, I am rarely here, but have received 2 of these in quick succession tonight to my Inbox. Any advice, just in case this needs to be addressed as a wider security or malware issue here? I get enough of the 'you have 500million waiting for you' emails as it is...quite apart from the bad grammar ["more better", lol].

"Hello!

Greetings.

I am Miss Monic Somba i just want to let you know that there is something
very serious and urgent i will like to share with you.

Please kindly respond as soon as you get this mail so that i can explain myself in a more better way.
contact me back here just for more details (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) ms_somba3 at yahoo dot com

Expecting to hear from you.
Miss Monic Somba"

We need to see the email header to determine where the email came from.

You do have an email block list to block unwanted email addresses.

It's in my Inbox....my apologies, I am not sure what an email header is. i.e. they are the only 2 emails in my Inbox, as I haven't been here for quite some time I'm afraid. If this is a common occurrence, then I just need to 'block' them as you say?

I received the same message. I deleted it. Looks like a spam message to me. :(
