Hi
I received an email from [email protected]

You have a new E-CARD Message Waiting: Click Here (this takes me to -http://www.viewyourmessage.com/viewmessage/?a=50&s=sf)

What I also do not understand is that when I open the message it reads - From: [email protected]; To: [email protected] (which is not my email address)

I enclose the message details; Please help!

What exactly do you need help with ?
So this is yet another spam e-mail, but what harm has it done?

I need to know where the email came from. When I look up the IP addresses I see USA, Dominican Republic and Australian addresses.

The E-card message might very well be a scam (I hope so), but it hit a nerve. My husband had an affair a while ago (all is forgiven) but my paranoia tell me it is from said woman.

YOU, as a private individual, will NOT be able to use any of the information contained within the header.
Everyone thinks that the e-mail header will give the location of the sender, when in actual fact the best you can hope for is the location of the server that sent it.
The actual IP information is held by the various ISP and would require a court order to find out where they are physically located.

Remember, most spam is sent out by botnets which are thousands of unsuspecting private computers compromised by a virus.

And the E-CARD message IS a spambot, it is not from anyone you know.

I get things like this all the time. I think you are worried about nothing in this case. The biggest reason that this was not directed to your husband is that the email address is incorrect. Would it make sense that if he was cheating, his girlfriend would send an e-card to him at the wrong address and it would somehow end up in your email? Not really.

We have only one email address at our place of business.


Thank you, NeedKarma and ScottGem; you were very helpful and put my mind at ease.

I think is just a spam email nothing to worry about.
If you see email is not address to you then you should have deleted it.
Some virus and spyware will damage your systemthat tags along with email.

If you worry about husband cheating I don't think he would using the business email account to communicates with his x.
I think much smarter then that.

since you have only one email shared for business, I think you should setup another email account for your company [email protected]. But for use as personal.
Remember he got caused cheating before, I don't think he would try it again for all the trouble he went through with you.
