View Full Version : Here's a question
Why do I keep getting messages in my yahoo bulk folder that are blank?? They don't say anything, just a subject line. Does anyone know?? Here are the titles:
Re: The garden of Eden *ummm..WTF*
Sunstone~Welcome to my hometown
But they say NOTHING?!
:mad:
Nope~no attachments. I looked (I would never open them) but it's just too weird, a blank email with no attachment.

I delete all email when I don't recognize a 'from' name.

Might be trying to see if you will reply to say their email was blank and then they know it's a working email and you will get tons of ads.
So it WAS you in my frigidaire!!

beware! viruses are not always sent in an attachment; it's just easier that way! they can be sent in a macro.
A macro?? Please help the computer illiterate..LOL

kinda hard to explain. im on my way out the door now too!
just know that a virus won't always be in an attachment, even tho it usually is in an executable to distract you while it does its dirty work.
if you get a blank email from an unkown addy, just delete it and then run a virus scan

Im so glad I saw this! I have been getting the same thing for the past few days(since I posted FSOT threads) I just went to check my email and I had 37 of the blank ones and I recognized alot of the emails from people here. I know that its not them sending them cause I did reply and see if they had sent them. Im sure its a virus somewhere. I have scanned and scanned my system and nothing is coming up. Its just really weird.

MK those are probably porno sites. I've been getting a lot of those lately. They are trying to see if you are a viable email addy
Can they tell that when you just open to read it?

I think your spyware knows everywhere you go on your puter so it would know if you opened them.
