Abnormal Email

Ever got a strange email off a total stranger? Either a joke, misguided message or a possible scam like someone asking for your accont details for example? No attachments because if they did you can easily say it was a virus.

Got an love letter once. Turned out it was an attempt of the girlfriend of an friend of mine to get another chance. His name was just above mine in her list.

Nice topic, I recall an program about an email about "swallowing it" that went to the wrong address.
