The other thread just reminded me that I have been meaning to ask this.
Both DH and I have ancient yahoo email accounts that we very rarely use but have not cancelled. I have them set up that they are forwarded to my outlook.
Recently there has been a marked increase in spam. I noticed that the emails are not addressed to us, but to similar names
eg. instead of mmelindor at yahoo.de
mmlindor at yahoo.de
or mmlindora at yahoo.de
I have a spam guard on both yahoo and on outlook so it is not serious but it is annoying. Sometimes I have 10 spam mails a day.

Why am I receiving emails addressed to a different person?
