Something very weird is going on here: I’ve gotten a scattering of emails in the last 18 hours from Classmates.com. Nothing new in that, except that these are obviously fakes, albeit very convincing fakes. The subject line for the first is:
“You are invited to the Naked Fest with Lane Technical High School.”
The From: field contains a multi-word obscenity that I won’t even try to repeat. (You know what dash characters look like.) The body of the message is pure Classmates, but in the Received: field in the headers is a bogus domain and an IP that doesn’t match classmates.com:
Received: from mta10.prod.iad1.cmates.com (va-in-svc-lb1-mip.iad1.cmates.com [10.12.208.10])
It’s not malware, came in with no attachments, and contains no scripting whatsoever.
One of my friends from Lane got the identical messages about the same time that I did. So: Did anyone else get anything like this? Or is it just the two of us who are being scammed? I don’t see anything about this online, which suggests that somebody is having some fun with him and me and not with Classmates.com as a whole.
Do let me know. Thanks!
Same here Jeff. 7 emails with various titles, the first the same as what you received. All from the same person who’s name makes me believe it’s not from Classmates.com but then again, I did attempt to unsubscribe twice last week so maybe it’s their way of saying good bye.
