There is another new type of e-mail spam attack.
It's telling you that someone has been trying to contact you. Now I have never heard of any of these so called reunion/social network sites. In fact, they have said that someone from school is trying to find me, yet they are sending to my married name, and anyone I went to school with, would NEVER know me by my married name, so obviously it's clearly a bogus e-mail.
So watch out for them, and as usual DON'T CLICK THE LINKS. Do I say that too much? Maybe I do, but frankly I don't care, because I don't think I can say it enough, especially as (and no offense to anyone reading this) sometimes people don't think, and will click the links, so just don't do it. It's always better to be safe and not sorry!!

If you didn't subscribe to it... Don't follow the links
This entry is exactly what the heading suggests.
If you didn't sign up to, or subscribe to something, and you receive e-mails informing you that you did (it doesnt matter if they include your IP address, reason being its probably bogus)!
There is usually an unsubscribe link, which is also bogus, and it just lets the spammers and scammers know that, the particular e-mail address is active!!!
Just mark them as spam if your spam filter has not picked it up, and DELETE IT!! Really don't touch the links, no matter how tempted you are, you are opening up the flood gates to your e-mail address, and you will be inundated with rubbish (your e-mail address will go onto a list and will be sold and passed around).
Remember, use your common sense, and it will save you a world of torment!!!
