Yes , i keep getting very similar ones ... i suggest you do not open them , they may just be links to harmless websites but i would be suspicious and just delete them , i once had a virus get into my computer when i kept following links from stray e-mails.
Hi.
I get them all the time. It is just junk mail but as the previous aber said, they could contain a virus.
I never open them nor do I reply to them. Just delete as they come in.
What email system do you use? If you use Outlook Express, try changing to Thunderbird:

http://www.mozilla.com/thunderbird

It's very similar to OE, but is more secure and has a great spam filter. You report the sort of emails you're describing as spam, and it'll learn to move them automatically to the Junk folder, keeping your good emails uncluttered in the inbox.
