    I've only just heard of 'reunion.com' (from a client who received over a 1000 emails this morning).

    To anyone receiving an email from reunited.com my advice is:
    DO NOT OPEN THE EMAIL BUT DELETE IT IMMEDIATELY
    Depending on your email provider but you will probably have a blocked sender / domain facility. Open this and enter the domain reunited.com that should help.
    The problem is that this scumbag site can get into your address book and email all your contacts using the your email address. You can see how this grows. The site should be taken off the net.
