What often happens in these cases is somebody who has a computer with your address in their address book was stricken by a virus and it is sending spam to the addresses on that computer. The attachment in the emails might install the same virus on anyone's computer who opens the email....so don't open it!

Eneto-55 Posted November 23, 2022 Report Share Posted November 23, 2022 When I get an email that seems suspect, I just open as "print preview", then analyze it from that view. (I use Thunderbird, and have it set up as a POP3 account. I don't know what options there are if you access email directly on-line.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
