I believe I have encountered a new (to me) kind kind of SCAM SPAM.
I received an email message (happily, it's in my SPAM folder) saying that one of the emails I sent was "undeliverable."
I went to click on a link to see what could be done. But of course I didn't click anything.
Unfortunately for the SCAMmers, I received several of the same messages today, and all involved emails I have never been involved with.
Have you received anything like this?
"Message not delivered
There was a problem delivering your message to zippyloan243@comstockn.xyz. See the technical details below."
Just delete it.

@TheHorse I haven't seen this type of scam....yet. I'm sure it will make it's way to me one day. And I will just delete after trying hard to not message back telling them to shove it.

That particular scam does not sound familiar to me. I have become very close friends with my delete button. . So close that I must have quickly deleted any similar type of spam scam from either my inbox or my spam box.

@TheHorse With all of the troublemakers around, I think it would be a great idea to stay close to your 'Delete' friend. That is what I intend to do.

I hate getting those annoying emails, and I get one from Apple all the time, but that too is a scam.

@TheHorse lol. I just received an email from Werther’s candy with an invoice for 980.00. A scam.

I keep receiving spam mails. In fact they outnumber the genuine mails that I get these days. In this era of WhatsApp and live chats, I hardly get mails from genuine sources. Every week I just visit my inbox to delete all these without even opening them. People offer their entire lifetime savings and earnings to me.

@TheHorse I got it so many times. Now I often get someone saying that my lucky phone number gets millions.

YES! And you beat me to asking about it here.
I've been getting them for a week or two now. They sure fill up the spam bucket.
