Strange spam

[SmokinBBC]

Been getting strange spam emails the last couple of weeks. They are all forwarded emails with a persons name in the "from".

There is always an http link that makes no sense. (For example remorselessaweo.info ). I never click on the link and mark the mail as phishing scam. Anyone getting this garbage lately?

Here is the text from the last email. I see twitter mentioned in just about all of them, but I don't have a twitter account.

Those are spam with random text in it to screw you spam filter statistic, giving him hard time afterward to figure out if a email is spam or not.
Best is to delete them without flagging them as spam.

Chase is letting our customers know that we have been informed by Epsilon, a vendor we use to send e-mails, that an unauthorized person outside Epsilon accessed files that included e-mail addresses of some Chase customers. We have a team at Epsilon investigating and we are confident that the information that was retrieved included some Chase customer e-mail addresses, but did not include any customer account or financial information. Based on everything we know, your accounts and confidential information remain secure. As always, we are advising our customers of everything we know as we know it, and will keep you informed on what impact, if any, this will have on you.

We apologize if this causes you any inconvenience. We want to remind you that Chase will never ask for your personal information or login credentials in an e-mail. As always, be cautious if you receive e-mails asking for your personal information and be on the lookout for unwanted spam. It is not Chase's practice to request personal information by e-mail.

As a reminder, we recommend that you:

Don't give your Chase OnlineSM User ID or password in e-mail.
Don't respond to e-mails that require you to enter personal information directly into the e-mail.
Don't respond to e-mails threatening to close your account if you do not take the immediate action of providing personal information.
Don't reply to e-mails asking you to send personal information.
Don't use your e-mail address as a login ID or password.

The security of your information is a critical priority to us and we strive to handle it carefully at all times. Please visit our Security Center at chase.com and click on "Fraud Information" under the "How to Report Fraud." It provides additional information on exercising caution when reading e-mails that appear to be sent by us.

May I add a reminder for everyone on the forum : :trumpet:
never ever leave your plain email address on any forum.
Leave it in an mangled form like
someone _at_ domain.com or someone@*remove_this*domain.com
Or even better only by PM.
You'd spare me a couple of facepalms by the way :lol:
