I got an email which had a woman's name, which stated she was coming from Canada to visit me. I am not that curious and zapped the email. So be careful about finding out who the mysterious visitor would be. This could also work with a female getting a message from some unknown male. Don't be foolish and fall for this type of trick. frank
