Jane Posted July 2, 2001 Share Posted July 2, 2001 I've been writing to my ex-boyfriend under another name and I think he is trying to find out if it's me. I always use public computers when I write to him, so as not to have him trace my PC number. I got a strange email from him with no message, on the outside there was a logo of a safety pin and when I clicked it open, there was a high-lighted message that I was afraid to click open because I thought it might be a trap of some sort ( I was at home on my own computer) so I did't open it. Next to the message it said that if I didn't open it in seven days it would be deleted or something like that. Do you know what that means? Link to post Share on other sites
Tony T Posted July 2, 2001 Share Posted July 2, 2001 The safety pin, or paper clip, logo means either there is a file attachment or that you have been copied on mail sent to someone else. If you are at a public computer and you read it, even if it has a virus, there will be no harm to you. If it has a virus it will infect the computer you are using. For your own mental wellbeing, you need to stop this foolishness of writing your ex. Sit and think a while today on exactly what useful purpose it can accomplish. And, you have my unconditional guarantee, if he ever found out it was you writing him he would be furious and never want to speak to you again. You need to move on with your life and stop worrying about safety pins in email and stop writing goofy email to your ex under a fake name. It is dishonest, deceitful and a wholesale waste of your precious time on this planet. Go do volunteer work with dying children at a local hospital. They need you a lot more than your ex needs stupid email. You must absolutely LOVE to remain in pain. Link to post Share on other sites
