I've just checked in my Bulk E-Mail folder and received an e-mail from "[email protected]" titled "Mail Delivery (failed <my e-mail address>)". I know I have definately not sent an e-mail to the sender, and have no dealings with dyson.com, furthermore my e-mail address is reasonably unique and although I do get the occasional NetSky(?) virus sent (about twice a week at most), receive no bulk/trash mails.
Anyhow I can open the actual mail safely to see the text and have this written:
If the message will not displayed automatically,
follow the link to read the delivered message.
Received message is available at:
www.btinternet.com/inbox/<my Yahoo! id>/read.php?sessionid-<5 numbers>
the link is available to click on, which I obviously haven't done, and the e-mail size shows up as 42k, the NetSky ones all come through as 41k. I'm confused that the link shows to take me to my own inbox, or is it just a cover-up and its actually going to take me to a nasty site? I've run Norton already just to check nothing has already happenned and got the all clear. I've never seen an unusual e-mail like this before with just a link in it so all advice is very welcome.
Thanks to all and Merry Christmas.
