Blank Emails

Is anyone else getting blank emails? I keep getting a couple each day.

Then I get some with just a single line "I hope it isn't true".

Re: Blank Emails

I have been getting them with no subject and different short lines like "is this you," "how did we miss," "did you send this," also "why didn't you phone." All get trashed without looking at headers...

Re: Blank Emails

Here is a header from one of the emails I have received. This is a blank email:

Re: Blank Emails

Personally, I would just delete them.

May be worth setting up a rule in Outlook (or whatever you are using) to just delete all emails with no headers to a junk folder (which can be reviewed later to ensure no real email messages sent there by mistake).

Do not reply to them - as it potentially confirms your email address

Re: Blank Emails

I was just about to say the same as paulyoung666, the "I hope it isn't true" and Kitty's emails look to me like the ones I've been getting (along with bounced postmaster messages not sent from me, b**tards :grrr, all of which have been infected with one of the netsky variants
