Catch All email address - Funny or what?

Dean · Feb 4, 2009

Wondered if anyone else has funny emails to a catch-all that maybe you shouldn't get.

My latest funny one was sent to [email protected]:

Mark,

I confirm that I have sent payment by bank transfer which should show on your account tomorrow in the sum of £6,350.37.

Regards,

Tracy

Funny really, some scammers could have some great fun with stuff like this i'm sure :-S

Some time ago I registered cemail.co.uk (Colin Edwards), set it up on a server, but never used it.

For some bizarre reason it seems to collect holiday snaps from a group of people in various parts of the world.

I get loads of them, coz my sale script sets catch all as well, I end up with 0000s a day, some I read if they don't like legit stuff.

One of the names gets shit loads of paypal payments to it, I had to login to paypal and close the account and email paypal to auto refund so now I get about 5 refund emails a day even tho I told them no.
