Am I alone in receiving a new flavour of spam emails?
In the past 10 days I have received an average of 2-3 mails a day addressed to the same account xxxxxx@aol.com
Is this a new style of phishing? I presume the bogus mailinglist creators are hoping that I will respond with my real email addresss, which they can then target in turn?
After I think the fourth same address message I’ve written a rule sending all similar straight to the appropriate receptacle. But I’m just curious ???
No, well probably not, they “knew” your email address to send you the spam - what you are seeing is the difference between the “envelope” address (used to actually send the email) and the message or “To:” address which can be anything.
Or it could be backscatter
are they US oriented? Often, within the email client, you can mark as spam but don’t for heavens sake click on them out of curiosity 
got a lovely email today… to an old hotmail address which OH no longer uses…
reminding me that my TV licence is out of date… which is a bit odd since we’ve not had a UK licence since the old king died…
here are a couple of screen shots, which avoid showing our personal information…
obviously, I did NOT press on the “renew now” button…
Wise.
By the way, I am now in charge of receiving everyone’s taxe d’habitation/speeding or parking fines/ whatever: just send the sum to my account… 
Oh yes! 10% off if you send it to me…
I can’t offer disconts but I do give you a justificatif and that’ll be the end of the matter ! 
You would imagine they would do a spell check before sending out tens of thousands of these.
