Quick Warning: New Email Scam Running Rampant

Hey folks,
I'll be back with a new post on Saturday but I wanted to give you a heads up about a new scam I see.

My throw away email account received 150 (buggers must have been bored!) bogus 'mailer daemon: mail undeliverable' notices over the weekend. It wouldn't have seemed strange except I get to see where all my email messages originate - these were not from valid email addresses from my address book.

Before you click one thinking it may be legit - consider how many emails you have actually sent in the past 24 hours. It wouldn't hurt to also clean your email junk and bulk folders once in a while, if you use Yahoo then you know how many spam emails slip through.

Just a heads up and be careful out there!
