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.
