ok lately i have been receiving the oddest of email. in the last few days i have had several email addressed to a Yee Ling. the first time i got one, i sort of dismissed it as spam. like the time great uncle mumbatu died and they had to wire all of his riches to me, his only survivng relative. i could go into detail how many things are wrong with that statement, but i will not. i will say this, of the six members of my immediate family alone, none have passed away. this is not about me though, this is about Yee Ling.
ok the first thing i noticed about the very first email would have been the sender. typically, the sender and the senders adress do not match i any way what-so-ever in spam, this one did. on top of that, it was also an email from a .edu, which is more than likely a college professor or student. add to that, the fact that i was the only recipient. i mean, that is hardly spam if you only send it out to one person at a time. of course this could have been a particularly smart spammer, and they figured out the importance of the bcc. if that was the case, everyone else on the list would now have an email that says it was directed to me. what would be the point of that?
as far as the actual body of the email. it did not really ask anything of me. apparently, they just wanted to congradulate her on her success, and thank her for work she was doing to help the children in mongolia. what kind of scam is this? it does not even ask me to respond. so i looked up miss Ling on the internet. turns out she is a mong pop singer, as far as i can tell. her music is probably not the greatest in the world. so it is probablt a good this she is charitable.
this would have been the end of it, except i now have a second email to Yee. there is a similar theme, but it is not the same letter by any means. again, there is a matching email and sender, and again i am the only recipient. i will say this, i did try find an email address for her to see if it was very similar to my own account. alas, there was no email there to be discovered. i will keep track of the emails for the next couple days just for hell of it. if i get any new information, i will try to forward the email to her.
