[QUOTE="simmerskool, post: 1075954, member: 61091"] I don't get too many, but last week I got an email from a company I had never heard of telling me that some vague product I had not ordered was being shipped. The email was sent to an anonymous duck email acct I sometimes use. Email addressed me as "William" not my name, and package was being delivered somewhere in UK, I'm in USA. Even had Royal mail tracking number, which I checked -- appeared real. Then received several more emails tracking the status of the package. Never could determine if it was a scam, or a real William made a typo in his @duck address, perhaps some snafu with duck server, or if I was a real target. I was getting emails from that company and also from the real Royal mail tracker. So I deleted that duck address. Also never got that package :ROFLMAO: I usually investigate quickly. [/QUOTE]
