Dear members,
 
If you receive an email seemingly from us (uk2@)  saying that ‘uk2@picturesofengland.com would like to add you as a friend’ or ‘you have a new notification from uk2@picturesofengland.com’ or something similar, prompting you to click a link such as  ‘Accept’ or ‘View profile’ etc, PLEASE delete the email straight away and do not click any of the links within it as this will possibly download unwanted software on to your system. These emails are not from us but from a company harvesting email addresses.
Unfortunately they have somehow got into our work computer and sent these bogus emails to everyone in our personal contacts.
 
Please note that the PoE site has not been hacked/compromised and all your information on there is safe. These emails have come from our personal address book only.
Any legitimate email sent from the poe site will be in the usual format also containing the poe site banner/header and be addressed from Chris & Sarah.
 
We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused by this, and have put measures in place to help ensure it doesn’t happen again. If you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact us.
 
Chris & Sarah
