Curious email

[James Mills]

I received an email this afternoon from an address of balsabug1@aol.com.  There was no text, just a link about fitnesvids.  Seemed henky so I didn't open and deleted the email.  Does anyone now of this person (is it legit)?

Spam bots just get cleverer and cleverer.

Hi Jim,

It's from National balsa

I wouldn't open something like that either.

If there's no text in the message itself, it cannot be very important.

If it is from an address I know, I'd send a mail asking about it. Some of those spam/malware/etc. things are pretty good at faking addresses too.

Looks as if their AOL account was breached

Even more curious...I was getting similar emails from an email address in my address book where the person passed away three years ago. I have removed the offending address and the mystery seems to have stopped.

Well I get anywhere from 10 to 20 spam emails a day.   If I don't see anything familiar it gets deleted.   I have had some show up there from some people on this forum.
