Itâs a type of spam Iâve seen before. For a time, my co-workers and I
received spam emails with the names of other co-workers as the sender. But
the sendersâ email addresses were wrong. The email footers were off too,
but still surprisingly convincing for spam. We noticed, of course, because
we know each others footers. But a receiver outside our company might get
fooled by this type of spam.

I have not received such spam on my personal email addresses. I assume itâs
a method of sorts specifically for targeting businesses.

Not clicking links in unexpected emails is always a good idea of course.
