Wow! Thanks for the info, Barb--I had no idea, but that may be what was going on. One message was from "a Swedish boy" who just wanted "friends online", the other from Germany, from someone who claimed we shared last name, and wanted info re: people around the world with his name. I dis reply cautiously to both, asked how they got my name, gave no info. Never heard from either. I thought I was being pretty careful---but in view of what you say, I have to wonder! Camilla
