The From: and Reply to: addresses were the same domain.

Who gets an email from "betty", who uses an email address of "Vicky951", and wants replies sent to "Rosanna069" and an invalid area code phone number, and would either attempt to call or reply?

I can understand that certain persons - probably our jugeared CINC - would hit "reply" thinking they might get a quick thrill - and the receiving email then knows about a "live" email address they can use to lend verisimilitude to later spam.

I always get a kick out of the text attachment of random phrases. At lest this one put it down far enough that you had to scroll to see it.

Update - a quick Google search on the area code turned up nothing when I posted this - how quickly data gets outdated...
