Recently, I received an email from a certain D. Hossain but the mail was intended for another email address. It was an invitation for a data entry job.
I did not apply for any data entry job because I know about this thing. But out of curiosity, I opened the mail and there was a link for jobsathomeabroad. com when I checked the link it was redirected to megatypers.
I was just wondering why the email landed on my inbox when the address indicated therein was not for me but for another person.
Did you experience the same thing? Do I need to worry about this thing? Please share you opinion about this matter.
Have a wonderful day!

Most likely it is spam. Many companies (online mostly) are sending spam messages to every conceivable email providers and millions of email users. Even if you have a spam folder, it is not a guarantee that those mail will go there. Anyway, the only email provider I know which is spam-free is Gmail.

Hi jeanne!
That could be. Anyway, I will not anymore bother to see what are the contents if ever I received messages like this especially those from sources that I do not know.
Thank you for sharing!

Since you have little interest in this job infotmation, i suggest you can totally ignore it. Since the.reson for receving a mail that you are not put in the SENT TO list really confused me as well. And personnaly i awalys receice junk mails but instead of this kind.
Concerning your situation, sonething essential occurs to me about protecting privacy online. It's not a big deal receiving such mails missing the direction, but you should ensure that your personnal info has not been deprived.
If you have fuuly prevented yourself from hackers, there is really no necessary to worry about it!!

Hi Aries,
Nothing to worry about this email, I too have received, receiving the same type of third party emails to join in the sites. This is common mail, now a days I am not opening these mail. Simply I am deleting these emails, and forgetting about them. If you wish to do there are lot of other ways in the net to earn money, have a nice day.

Hi yugasini!
At first I was really worried receiving an email with a different name on it. Thank you for the advice.
Have a nice day too.

Just think of it this way, if you never have applied on any site, then this is more likely a scam. I have received a of invitations myself but I just ignored them.

I experiences this kind of thing, too... maybe the e-mail addresses are similar, or they are tricking... well, it does look shady. If someone sends you an e-mail from a foreign country about some fine-sounding job, it is always shady. They are either fishing, or want you to take up a job which is not worth it.

Ont hing I'm sure about the email address. It can't have any similarity with mine. Oh, well in whatever manner they do it, I will just have to delete similar emails in the future.
Thank you for sharing!

I get a lot of this kind of email. They are intended to go to another address and I could never figure out how that happens. If it's megatypers I would stay away from it. As soon as I started working the site my pc was hacked into and I'm sure it was because of them. Be careful when links are sentto you. If you don't recognize the person sending it just delete it for your pc safety.

Hi ctryhnny!
Yes, I might as well do as what you suggested. I was worried because this was the first time that I received such kind of email.
Thank you for sharing!
