Fake bounce emails, everyone getting them ?

[steve2470]

I'm getting several fake bounce emails a day now in my spam folder. Is everyone else getting them also ?

1. They come in cycles

Been getting them for years, every few months they start up again. Just like the phishing ones and the Nigerian scam ones.

3. Are the bounces really fake?

Or was your email address forged into the original spam that was bounced?

4. It was forged (the totally non-existent email address)

The bounces appear real.

The bounces come back to my company email server, but to a non-existent email address. I know I'm not sending them because I've checked my Sent folder and because the alleged sender is not one of my email addresses.

6. I think you are confusing the original spam with the bounce message.

With the bounce message, which may or may not include the whole original message/spam, there is nothing to unsubscribe from. It is just message from the remote mail server of the original recipient saying the original message was not delivered. You (your email server) gets the bounce because your email was forged into the original spam.
