I’ve recently received a couple of strange emails. Initially I thought that they had simply been sent to the wrong email address, mistaking me for someone else. But then, as I read them a bit more carefully, I got the sense that they were simply too vague, that there was something wrong with them. Is it a new form of phishing or attempting to get responders to provide valid email addresses? I received two of the emails eight minutes apart. They actually use my real name in one of the emails, though this could have been determined by the same means my email was harvested. The rest of the post is after the break…
