This is the new spammer harvesting technique .. They make great text fodder for spam filters -
> > Subject: Hey Fred > > > > Fred, > > > > It was nice to talk to you today I will send the proposal tonight. > > > > Thanks, > > Heidi "Subject: Thanks For Lunch Mike Mike, Thanks again for lunch it was great! Best regards, Steve" Here's some more of those (link may wrap). http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&threadm=0f5301c1c48d%24ebaab2b0%247700 a8c0%40frankenpuss&rnum=2&prev=/groups%3Fq%3D%2522send%2Bthe%2Bproposal%2522 %2Bfred%26hl%3Den%26btnG%3DGoogle%2BSearch ----- Original Message ----- > She's gotten two so far, both from two different addresses, and each of the > TOs are different. No attachments. The messages are suspiciously generic > and short. For instance: "Fred, Thanks again for lunch it was great. > Steve". (Oddly enough, "Steve" is not the same name as the message's TO). > Looking up the TOs domain's A and MX record doesn't show anything unusual, > and nothing points to my domain or ip. I suspect it's some ploy to get my > employee to reply (which she has to one of them), to validate her address > for spamming, but that's just a guess.
