Beware Emails Sent To You, From You.

[TheTerrorist_75]

I received and email this morning that the sender was me and the subject contained just a number. This was also reported by a user at WindowsBBS. This email contains a 1KB html tag from IP 211.169.139.35 which Sam Spade gave me a warning that it was aborting my search. The actual sending address was a jumble of letters at sumindmob dot com. I assume that the file sent would report back that your address is real and active.

Yeah, I got one of those too.

What is this all about?

Although, all mine contained was a three digit number.

I don't know what it's motive was. I looked at it through properties and didn't open it. Usually something like this automatically sets a cookie that reports back to the sender to let them know the email that received it is active. They then include your address on their list or sell it for sending further spam or worse to that address.
