No worries Julie. Years ago, I'd gotten spam from my own
address haha. I think it was a hotmail address come to think of it. I
have a lot less issues having my own domain. Glad you got it worked out,
that stuff can be frustrating. As much work as these guys put into
spamming you'd think they'd come up with email text that was not like:
"Hello. I make lost transaction and need to do dealership with
you." Oh well, that is to our good fortune they aren't more
convincing in most messages, which is why they probably kept them short
in your case.
And as long as I'm here on this topic, even in email that really looks
like it is from your Paypal account or the like, it is good practice to
just copy the text of the web address, once you know it is legit, because
it is very easy to mark them so they look like something they're not. For
instance Go to this one:
http://www.safeplacefelloowship.com
Gotcha did I? That is why it is best to copy the text and not click the
link. Especially those that don't just say Click Here To Check Your
Account.
Admittedly I've done the above when it was little choice to conveniently
do otherwise, but even if it's from your credit card company or the like,
you're better off to just delete that mail and go to your
favorites/bookmarks or where you keep their web site and then check your
account that way.

Hey Brad.
You're not a bone-head. I didn't send these and wouldn't spam you guys. I
found my e-mail address blocked today because MSN had to reset the whole
account. Someone was using my address GRRRRRRR! Should be fixed
now.
Sorry 'bout that.

I could be wrong, but I get the
feeling Julie didn't intentionally send these couple notes? Not like her
to send such a short note without some intro that sounds like her
and no signature. It looks like something may have gotten in her address
book or commandeered her email address for a bit. . I'd seriously not try
to open these. If she emails back and says, "Brad, you bonehead, I
did send these?" Then I was wrong :). If you did try to open
these? Even if it looks like it didnt' open? I'd Do a disk scan
emptying your temp files and etc., run a scan with your anti-virus
software as well maybe one from one called Malwaer Bytes. It's free
to use and good.
