Hi
Both my wife and I are getting bogus emails from people we know that we know they aren't sending intentionally.
What these messages have in common is the code goo.gl/
I kind of understand that this is a signal to shorten the visible address.
The messages have no subject, have a message like Hello Mike and a Link.
I clicked on one of the ones that I got and it was a link to a Weight Loss chemical that you take to lose weight.
Next I ran Malwarebytes and notified the person the email came from that I was receiving these messages.
The thing is that Malwarebytes didn't find anything, and that may be that I don't have the virus myself, only the person sending them.
The other thing is that when I ran a search for goo.gl/ I kept getting malware hits and my malware software would block them from opening.
Anyway I'd be interested in any information about this that anyone has.
