Possible Scam, or just something I don't understand...?

Not sure if this is the right forum for it, if not, please move it.

My Question:

I keep getting emails saying "You have a message from Carder waiting for you in Second Life. Log in to see it."

Then an empty message, and the link to turn off email notification. I got about 6 or 7 of those mails in the last 2 days...and when I log on, there is nothing...no IM, no group IM, nothing. and besides, Carder is not a valid name, is it?

the domain those mails come from is "xxx@im.agni.lindenlab.com", the xxx being a replacement by me, not to break TOS.

Any ideas what that is?
Thanks.

Sounds like it may be a scripted object trying to tell you something, Flood. I've had similar messages before too. If it's bothering you and you have absolutely no idea where it comes from, you can mute it (View menu > Mute List).

I'll move this to Resident Answers, if anyone else has any suggestions.

I wish it could just cough up the message in the mail =-\

Going on what Torley said, I'd think it was supposed to be a note card giver, object name Carder? And yes, it sounds like it's trying to IM you and that it's a bit faulty in that there is no message for it to give you. So, it messages a blank. Hopefully, this is one of your objects and not someone elses.

Either way, it's not a scam. All IMs to email end in that now.

When you log in after getting the email, press Ctrl-H to bring up your chat history (or click Chat in the toolbar if the chatbar is closed and then History). If it's a simple message from an object it should show up there. If it was an inventory offer of a notecard or image, the name of the item will be shown so you can find it in your Notecards or Textures folder.
