  This made no sense whatsoever!! There must be some sort of virus or something that affected my laptop. I say that because for the last month, I have received emails, regular inbox and spam, to a recipient named Phillip Kipling. Who the heck is that? For the record, my name is Harold Bains. No relation to the famous Chicago White Sox player. To continue that point, no one in my home goes by the name of Phillip or Kipling, with the closest being a copy of the poem by Rudyard Kipling. What was even more peculiar was the content of the emails.
