Getting smart(??) these "sad" people

Some of the !£$% received today seems to have taken a new turn in my case. The "sender", in a number of cases, used a surname or forename that has been included in my entries on my GC tree. Now, I know kids are getting smarter and more computer literate at an earlier age, but two of the names used?? One is 21 months old, another is 8 months old. Child prodigies - I don't think so!!!!! A third name used- they have been dead for some considerable time. Now that is smart!!!!!!!! Paul

Do you mean junk email? I read alittle while ago that if you read rootsweb or genforum listings they will pick up on the surnames you are looking at and send an email with an address that has that surname in. I did find it to be true for a couple of days after. Does that make sense? Also received a virus last night VSKSYB or something.
