It will come from someone you know and who has you on their “contacts”.
Open it and you will unwittingly send it to everyoneon YOUR contacts.
Thanks for the heads up. Is this a FReepmail thing, or do you mean regular ol’ email accounts?
I rarely use email and even then don’t open 90% of it.

Subject line “Hey”, from whom?
Opening the email does it or opening an attachment/link within the email?

Is “Yo!” safe?
BM for more ‘Hey’ info, tomorrow.
Hey!
sheesh, I use “hey” as a subject line as do my friends. How can you tell if it’s bogus or not?
I use Yahoo for my Email and have not had any problems.
While I get up to 20 spam mails per day, they are automatically put into the spam folder by Yahoo.
I can periodically check it for any real Emails, before dumping the contents.
It is very rare for me to see a spam mail in my normal inbox.
I would never use the ISP for email, as you are in deep doodoo if you move and/or change your ISP.
I check my email every week whether I’m expecting any email or not. I only read the stuff from people whose address I recognize and delete the rest, but nobody I know would put “Hey” as the subject line. So I think I’ll be alright.
Anyway, thanks for the heads up. If anybody I know does send me an email with “Hey” as the subject line, I’ll delete it.
Being a rancher I get legitimate daily e-mails with the subject line “Hay”!
How about, “Heya?”
I get one from a group I belong to that has a subject line “Heil!” Is that safe to open?
Yes, it happened to me. :(
