Got a curly one. Couple of emails to a Gmail account, from a UK Yahoo address that I don’t recognise. Both have attached .jpgs, one HDR. Headers check out as “normal”.
The kicker? I punched the Yahoo email address into a dummy text address line and it comes up as belonging to an iPhone/iPad/iMac as it’s immediately configured as an outgoing iMessage. I’ve seen the scams where an incoming message is purportedly an iMessage - but the giveaway with them is that a reply isn’t. The sending address is not “weird” nor the email titles. They don’t come up on a thorough Googling, but that’s neither here nor there beyond dispelling the bleeding obvious. Any suggestions on “safer” ways to dig deeper in case it is legitimate? |
