SCAM: LinkedIn contacts - oddity!
« on: January 18, 2013, 08:17:45 PM »
This one was received today, and has me slightly puzzled, as although it purports to come from LinkedIn (but t doesn't really come from them) it doesn't have a valid link in the email. It's almost as if it's a trial attempt to see if the mail gateway will send it....
