Today I received an e-mail (on my 9500/G4-700/OS9.2) that I haven't seen before, and it's totally bogus. I know that I don't need to 'confirm' to send an e-mail. A new kind of scam? Has anyone seen it before, and know what it is trying to accomplish by me just hitting 'REPLY' without changinging or adding anything to the body of the e-mail? Also,it mentions an e-mail that I had sent him/them, that I never had. The only thing I see in the e-mail that might be telling is the "price.com" near the end of the message.
