yes. I have been getting russian language spam in my main inbox for a week or so. I don't know russian.

However, even weirder is a series of emails I've been getting for nearly a month now. They are always from randomized emails and claim to be different people but they are always about someone named Becca and some guy. Sometimes they are accusing me of being this guy and harassing Becca. Sometimes they are saying someone stole Becca's phone and was impersonating her friends. The weird thing is that none of these have any links.

Here's one from yesterday: "Beverly hacked all your stuff made fake account of you on Facebook apparently you have a new house and going to hurt Becca if she doesn't stay away from you . Apparently according to the rude message Becca Lynn received y'all aren't friends anymore ... That made Becca cry " But there aren't any links or anything like I would expect if it was typical phishing emails. Maybe they are just sending things out hoping someone will respond?
