Can someone help explain this email I got. What my options are.


The message is encoded in base64. It appears to come from overseas.yg-networks.com, but the reverse lookup shows nothing. It doesn't look like it came from a spam MTA.

This same scam has been going around since they opened the .cn tld. I'd just ignore it.

Well that's good to know. I didn't want to devote more than 5 minutes to this.

Spammers :mad: not even worth attacking, tempting as it is.

What did we learn here? Put your email address in an obfuscated image.

They are also pulling the "contact" email off domain registration as well....so there isn't much to be done about them getting an email connected to the domain since it appears to be human powered.

I got an original scam last night. Someone with my exact name died overseas, so they want to see if it was me or a relative before the estate could be distributed.
