Suspicious email from unknown person and unknown website?

i got an email today saying i posted my resume on a website. which i did not. i posted my resume on website "x", and today i got an email saying that someone was replying to my resume i supposedly posted on website "y". i never posted my resume on this site that the email is claiming. how can i find out how to stop these emails or find and contact the owner of the website? or how can i find out if someone is copying and pasting my resume?

Suspicious email from unknown person and unknown website?
This is most likely just a phishing scam, which is basically deliberate spam, sometimes with malicious intent (virus). To be safe, do not click on any of the links this email sends you, and dont open any attachments it sends you. In fact, its probably best not to even open the emails. As soon as you get them, delete them.





There is no website 'x' or 'y', the people just made the websites up! (I know the websites arent called 'x' and 'y', I'm saying the actual websites they sent you are probably scams).





If you have hotmail, I know there is a button at the top of the page to 'Report Phishing Scam', which may or may not bring the annoying, perhaps hazordous emails to an end.





Until then, try and isolate the emails from your regular Inbox, perhaps move them to junk or mark them as 'unsafe'.





As for the resume, if it isnt online anywhere, then the chance that your resume is being copied and pasted by someone is slim to nill. I wouldnt worry about that too much.





Good luck!

Reply:They are probably ad sites, sending you spam mail.
Reply:Just ignore it. Don't respond to it.
Reply:is x at all related to y?
Reply:They better get a lawyer, cause its time for a lawsuit! But before you make them pay out of their butts, just check with them and see what went wrong.
Reply:never open or answer if you do that even if it is a scam it verifies you have a legitimate email address and they will spam you Even more once you put them on spam or ignore list this let them no the account is real i would still write a letter to AOL but never clink on a link in the mail even if it looks real always go ogle the real page and go to it that way be careful
Reply:obviously you should get the email... Do you use AOL or something? Because you can contact them about stuff that you think is happening. Tell them the story
Reply:somewhere on the website, if you have callingID, it will tell you the address to the website, unless they hide it, and you can send them a letter through via mail (this isn't safe), and you could contact the website owner that way. Change your e-mail address?
