Recieved email (very different)from <span title=""[e-mail]"">"[e-mail]...</span> source of this email please?

Question

I just don't know what to make of this little strange email, I never emailed any "jilly" and want to know what are my options of investigating where this is from before I open the email further? Any help here?The message contains personal poetry- anyone reading it could easily concur it was sent to them- but I don't think any "jilly " knows me personally at all.It almost sounds like a self educated individual's personal view of life put to poetry. I feel warned about it.So, I am wanting to know what this is before I even think about responding to it. Gail

Answer 1

Email addresses are easily spoofed, meaning with minimal skills you can make an email look like it&#039;s from *anyone*. This email is most likely spam or malicious. I, personally, don&#039;t open email from people I don&#039;t know, and I think that is a good habit to get into.

I would not respond to the email.

Be careful, the web is a dangerous place! :)

Answer 2

never respond to an email if you don&#039;t know who it&#039;s from. you probably shouldn&#039;t have even opened it. it could be a virus. also there are sites on the internet where you can write an email to someone from any email address, it&#039;s possible that&#039;s what happened and it was just one of your friends playing a joke on you.
