Cunning spam

A new way I've seen spammers use to get a response.

Email 1:

From: Barbara Podair

To: "fgddddddddjhfgh@usfreeads.club"

Subject: remove from all emails and mailings

Body: *blank*

Email 2 (5 minutes later):

From: Jennifer Freeman [Ed: There is even a profile picture displayed]

To: "fgddddddddjhfgh@usfreeads.club" , Barbara Podair

Subject: Re: remove from all emails and mailings

Body: Unsubscribe

Sent from Outlook Mobile [Ed: Suspicious-looking link for 'Outlook Mobile' that is either phishing, to get you to confirm your email address is active, or both]


So by inducing you to 'unsubscribe' from spam, this is actually going to get you spammed even more.
