Spam and Virus e-mail problems.
If you have come to this page because you have received an e-mail containing a virus from an
  xxx @ thorpehamlet . idps . co . uk  or   xxx @ thorpehamlet . free0nline . co . uk  address we can assure you that it has not come from us but a 'spoofer' who has stolen our address to send out spam e-mail and viruses. We only ever reply to mail sent to us and we always include your original message in our reply. We have complained to the internet service provider (ISP) that is being used for the spoof e-mails but the spoofers regularly move on to a new ISP. We have excellent antivirus protection that checks our  outgoing as well as all incoming mail for viruses.  You will see that we have now taken the precaution of not publishing any e-mail addresses on the site and use only pictures for e-mail addresses despite the inconvenience. We have done this in order to try to avoid any future problems.
