Maybe they thought you really were a sheep, and it was a Sheepish name (assuming they could speak Sheepish).

I think I've gone off the rails.

Oh bullshit, they make up names. It's funny the names I get and the emails I get due to the fact I have "giggly" at the start of my address.

I now get regular emails from barclays ebank claiming to be official scam warnings! How daft are they telling me that they are trying to scam me? I don't even have one of their bank accounts! These sods must think the average computer user has a IQ of 5.

Legally if they say you've won a prize doesnt it mean they HAVE to give you something?

Do you think they care about that? The whole point is that these emails are not legal.
