Call your local FBI field office.

Thank you, smacking myself in the head for missing the obvious! lol
Just sent the local office an email with one of the weird messages included. Figured that’s easier than me trying to describe what it says when I can’t read it.

Here's the "game". Person #1 sends YOU information in an e-mail while spoofing the SMTP (e-mail address) of person #2. So when you hit the "reply" button to tell person #1 to go away and stop, you don't actually reply to who sent it, but to person #2. If you do like most people, you'll include the content of the message by default. Actually, your MUA (mail program) will do this for you. You think you're sending a message to person #1, when actually you just forwarded the message to person #2 in your effort to get person #1 to stop sending you this "junk".
If what I described above is happening, they're using you (and others) to unknowingly forward messages.
Like I said...call the FBI. :-)
