    The Email adress mentions Sun Records so might be something to do with Johnny Cash.He was stationed in Germany with the US military in the early 50s.

    Just looking at their facebook page and it hasn't had any activity since 2012

    I got this one today..

    "Portrait of Henry O. TMS is also a working organic farm. A short time later, on September 18, 1953, they were assigned to the 316th Air Division."
    These are increasing. Most spam get blocked by various rules so now they're trying to fool spam filters with real text.
    Not sure what angle is, maybe phishing for responders.

    Here's a good one I found in the spam folder the other day:
    The challenge hypothesis proposes testosterone as the key physiological mechanism underlying this tradeoff. After telling her he had snapped the cat's neck, he beat her harshly with a fly swatter. Farragut attacked her with his strongest ships.

    Makes sense.

    My husband constantly gets emails to his gmail for a guy in the US who shares the same name as him. He has received his travel iteninary, with flight tickets to be printed. Hotel reservations incl credit card details!! Most recently he received family photos from the guys daughter. So he went back to her and explained what had been happening. Hopefully they will stop now.

    Totally misread "this woman's region" as more porno- than geographic. :D

    Now that you mention it, I did get an email confirmation about some naughty stuff she bought online. I'm with gmail so may be a coincidence or something to do with their system. My email address is firstname.surname@gmail.com, but if you leave out the dot it will also go to me.

    i just normally get this kind of emails normally with a picture attached
    Hi. How are you doing? I write to you with my personal email so write to me at any time. I will be always glad to answer you. I with pleasure will tell to you about me and about my life. I send you my photo if it is pleasant to you, I will send to you more. I also will be glad to see your photos. I'm from Russia, I hope this is not a problem for us.

    I keep getting legit emails sent to me by mistake.

    Received 2 of my pseudo name’s airline tickets on different occasions. Was able to bring them right to the point where I was able to enter my passport details and 'claim' the ticket as my own. But I didn't.

    Received a really in depth and personal email from another pseudo name’s friend about her struggle in college and with life etc.

    Received feedback on a pseudo name’s job interview, which was a bit of fun when I threw 'data protection' in the response to the relevant HR dept.

    The most recent one was sad when I received an email from someone writing about his deceased son to whom he obviously thought was his deceased son's friend. Pictures of the grave and everything.

    On all occasions I'll write back to advise the sender of their folly. Some are a bit of craic, and some are not. Advice? Be sure about the email address you're using.
