Ho hum. Same old phishing/attack site scam. I only included this because I got like a dozen of these last night and I found it humorous to get an email telling me my email has been blocked. The statements and the action contradict each other. Kind of like receiving a phone call that tells you your phone isn’t working.

any way to track this or figure out were it’s from? Looks like it’s from my web site but I do not use the e-mail for the site.
These are spoofed emails addresses. Spam almost never comes from the displayed address. Usually you just look at the full header to see where it’s really coming from.

they can me sent to me or to a co-worker but I am getting them.
I am so sick of these I could scream! Since the first of June I have received 29 of them. How can I make them stop and where are they getting my co-workers email addresses to put in place of mine? I know why I am getting them with their names, it is because I am the admin. I just want the “maddness to stop!”
I got “we have reason to believe your account was accessed by someone else” and Your email account is blocked”. One wanted tons of info right down to banking info…How do i unblock it?
