I have numerous web sites, and since my email addresses are out there, I get a lot of junk email (hundreds if not thousands a day). Every couple of weeks I look through my junk email folder to see if anything good was caught by mistake. The other day I found something interesting.
Last Tuesday I received a message with content like the following:
TOP BRANDS – LOW LOW PRICES
Jewelry * Handbags * Pens * Watches * Neckties * Clutches * Wallets
The weird part was that it was to NIAGARAFALLSVIEW@LISTSERV.CHOICEONE.NET. This is the address that the Radisson Hotel & Suites Fallsview newsletter uses. I looked at the message headers of the email, and it certainly appears that the junk email actually came through their newsletter server. There was even an automatic footer added to the message with a link if you want to unsubscribe that takes you to the hotel web site.
Did anyone else get this message?
