Are Spam sender's getting dumb and dumber? This is the latest footer I started receiving today. Check out the phone numbers! The line below here about letting them know if I would like my Spam sent to a different email address is especially funny because they already are sending the same piece of Spam to every e-mail address I have every few minutes! LOL

Of course the e-mail was From me to Me! LOL You shouldn't get all freaked out about the from me to me, there just using a ' Tag ' that inserts the e-mail address they are sending the Spam to, into the from field. Everyone sees their own email address as the sender of the Spam. Tags are not part of the issue at all, tags are something you have likely used or seen many times, like when you login to a site and it shows your name, thats a tag. Nothing wrong with Tags!
Are you clicking on the block sender in your Webmail or other mail programs? If you are you may be causing you or your webmaster a very large headache.
All the spam and phishing scams we receive daily DO NOT use their own email address as the 'reply to'. In fact they may be using your email address as the reply to or sender of the email. What this means is if you hit the block sender button you just blacklisted your own email address from receiving emails from your customers and friends.
So how are they putting your email address in as the sender? They are simply using any mail programs that accepts 'Tags'. A tag is just a method of pulling a persons information up and inserting it into the email. Just like you may have used with an auto-responder.
