Does anyone recognize this?
(Do not click on the link below)

[email protected]

I'm getting responses in my SpamBlocker from people who rec'd something from the above address. I don't have a clue why I'm getting this as my e-mail address isn't referenced, but it's unnerving!

2. I did, too.
Same situation -- I got a couple of messages from people saying they didn't sign up and don't know what this is. I've never heard of it, either.

4. Sounds like someone has hijacked your email address
and is using an annon sender (maybe?) to send out email that make it appear as though it came from your address. I had a similar problem a few years ago and had to contact my ISP to have them block any further mail generated from them at the server. I also forwarded the emails to the FCC so they could trace the headers. These are spammers usually trying to get around their own ISP's spam rules.

It could also be that LibertyTreeFDR.org is affiliated with someone that you have signed up with legitimately, and they have a virus that is spoofing your email address as the sender, leaving them as victim as well.

Any clue what the original email was about? Are you just getting "remove me" types of replies?

7. Original email
Here's a c&p of the email I received...I've also gotten emails from people responding to this (I assume they clicked on reply to all).
