My email address was used -- ugh!

MUSICandCHARACTER · 02-07-2005, 11:05 PM

Someone just sent a bunch of spam and used my email address (well, one of them from iBowTie anyway) as the return address. I have received about 50 emails in 5 minutes as returned mail. I am sure I will have my mailbox filled up all night.

Many of them sent to Germany. I am getting German responses like crazy.

I can hardly wait until someone sends me a nasty email about spamming. Sometimes, you just have to love the internet.

I had this for about 2 months. Every day there would be like 20 emails coming back to me - with very dubious content!

It seems to have stopped, thankfully. (touch wood!)
