To day i received an email from the address
Code: 
"SOUTHTRUST BANK" <custservice_id_77447778358@southtrust.com>
....

the mail contains no text body only the subject.... no duobt this is a spam email...

i am not writing this topic because its a spam... what makes me think is the address where the mail was sent.... the email was addressd to saurav_531@yahoo.co.in no cc, no bcc... only to saurav_531@yahoo.co.in

but how & why yahoo allowd the email to come to my email box as my email address or the ID isnt saurav_531 atall.....

see this screen shot.... my address is saurav_abc@yahoo.co.in but an email addressd to saurav_531@yahoo.co.in came to email box.....

see this screen shot.........

hey dude that is a phishing scam and i have also received a similar mail and hey dont worry i think the sloution to your problem is simple ... maybe your address i.e saurav_abc was in the BCC field ... i think thats why you are not being shown the other recepients other than those in the "to" field ...

no yaar thats not the case.... as i tryed that with my other email address (i send a mail from sify.... to Y! cc rediff bcc hotmail...)

if thats case what u r talking about then i shouldnt have seen the cc & bcc address from rediff or hotmail..... but i can see...

even in every spam u can see the cc & bcc colum.... & u will find ur address in there......

but not in this case..... this means i send a email to A but B receives that mail.....

That's interesting....

Hi,

Yours the case of "carpet bombing" or say "carpet spamming" where Spammers try every possible combination with popular mail id naming conventions (names for example) and then add numbers, years and other stuff to get "live" ids.

Anyway, can you please show a screenshot of a mail where you can see the BCC field with email ids in it?

Bye!
