    Hi, I am getting many Blank e-mails recently in my Yahoomail. Just got another when I open my mail today.

    The mail didn't have any sender and the subject says [none].

    Do you guys also get such mails? Is there anything related to e-mail scams, cos the e-mail is my paypal e-mail....

    I get those fairly often too...weird stuff.

    I guess Spam has a 'best if used by' date after-all!!

    I've only gotten one, and i thought it would be a surprise. Turns out just to be a blank email and disappointment. I did notice that NSIS ad's started popping up after i viewed it though.

    I n my case there was no ads though...just a plain blank...but I doubt if it has anything to do with hackers...are they?

    I think it's a spam or scam e-mail with the potentially harmful contents filtered out. I've gotten some of these with the option to view the original. Sometimes they're even just white text. :p
