Does anyone else get these emails?

[UnquietDad]

Always with a one- or two-word subject line, and a plausible - if unusual - name as the sender, e.g.:

"Desmond Zuniga - shakily"
"Odette Schmitt - subjectively"
"Anthony Bartram - notice relevancy"

They're always in my webmail and obviously I always delete them without opening, so I have no idea what they are actually trying to do. Anyone?

no but I'm getting loads with something like this

PHnjkARMA

in the title!

UQD yes i have them too:
WTF?

I have been getting weird ones for months now that sound similar, UnquietDad:

Sender: suffering
Subject: Angels remain benchmark strongest

Sender: known
Subject: Resources known

Sender: Haba Little
Subject: much

Sender: polar
Subject: a:hover In

They're driving me mad!

Phishing?

Crutch Limolo: dearly respected

Yes all the time, they go straight to bulk, and like you i send them straight to trash, bl$$dy annoying though

We get loads of these every day and I am sure they are linked to Hubby's heavy EBay habit.

I view them on preview...generally they are trying to sell performance enhacing drugs!! We also get quite a few about stock market offers, I mean is anyone so stupid they would fall for it?

I got one last week supposedly from the bank with loads of spelling mistakes in it and using flowery words which an English person would NEVER use...I have a good vocabulary but I didnt have a clue what it meant!!

They sometimes sound like Googlewhacks to me!

Only about one person in 10,000 needs to fall for an email scam in order to make it worth doing.

While I'm here, has anyone ever had their screen snap to black right in the middle of a YouTube video? Rather scary. It always comes back again when I moves the mouse.

UQD is that your powersaving settings cutting in.
Right click your destop, select proerties, screen saver, and then power settings....

BTW UI get about 10 of those emails a day I add them to the junk filter

Don't think so. "Turn off Monitor" is set to Never.

The annoying thing is though the "sender" is different every time so adding them to junk is a waste of time.

I get hundreds of these a day and they are just annoying! I wouldn't touch an email from a bank. My internet bank tells me every time there is a statement and that gets trashed too. I don't get the blank ones, why are they sending these? I also find I have to go through so many of these to find the odd real email I recieve. My filters seem to think these are juck more than the "PHnjkARMA" ones!

I got one today offering a herbal concoction that would extend my penis by 4 inches. I considered it but thought it was a bit of a risk. Anyway why would I want a penis that was 25% longer!!

I understood these were just trying to harvest email addresses, I thought that by using inoocuous words which people are unlikely to have set as rules they get opened more often.

Wouldn't it at least be useful to have one that was visible to the naked eye BigGAyDad??????????

I'd like something naked to see it occassionally!!

Viewing on preview not a good idea really. Although these type of mails are normally phishing, some have been known to carry trogans or a virus.

Using the viewing pane still has to access the email so can potentially infect your PC.

Best just to delete without looking at.

i keep getting ones for cheap meds, penis enlarging type things and apparently a large number of bored housewives would like to hook up with me for sex.

oooh go on BigGayDad, go for it!! you know you want to!!!
