The spam that can't be filtered

Aug 11, 2008 09:47

Since Aug 5, I have received 6 e-mails at my gmail account intended for people who were not me. I'm getting kind of sick of it. They were addressed to at least 3, probably 4, different people. When I responded, "I'm not Rebecca. Wrong address." to the most recent, she replied that she was sorry she forgot my name and that she wouldn't be able to meet with me as planned. So I guess I have to go back to explaining in nice simple terms.

Also, does anyone else ever get gmail invites from people they don't know? I've gotten 2 about a week apart, both at my gmail account. I believe they are attempts to get full names and e-mail addresses, which are sent to you if someone accepts your gmail invitation. It's an interesting new method of phishing that will get through every filter.
