    Bogus Email?

    I have received 2 or 3 emails from people in my “Contacts” that are suspicious to me. The email title is [No Subject] and the body of the email is a hyperlink to

    www . racomputacion . com.ar/ajnyrdlmri4.html


    Anyone have a clue what this is?

    By the way, the hyperlink in my original post was modified by including a space before and after the 1st two periods in the textstring. Otherwise the board would not allow the posting because it had a hyperlink included.

    Sounds like either email addresses were harvested from emails with all your addresses, or someone is infected, and sending spam emails to those on their contact lists. A Guy

    It is likely your contacts are not aware that they are spamming or their e-mail address been spoofed.
    They should immediately scan their computer with a good anti-malware and change their password.
    Never click on those links

    Spammer yields better results when the spam is sent from a known contact rather than anonymous.
