Ani, Somebody Hacked Your E-Mail And Sent Me Spam!
I looked at the "junk" box in my lp e-mail account and there was a message from "Anakin Skywalker." Now I knew that it was not from Mr. Skywalker nor could it have been from anyone I know; 99.99% of the stuff in the junk box is spam. But I was curious to see what it was about. The return e-mail was "canthardlywait99@whatever.com" and this was the text:
"Hey, this is pretty interesting!how are ya? I thought you might find this interestingJust wanted to let you know about these new supplements I tried. I lost 12 pounds in just a week and a half. Best thing, it cost almost nothing. Check it out here"
I removed the link because God knows what it is. But Anakin's the last guy who needs to lose 12 pounds in 10 days. At least it wasn't Anakin asking me to get the 15 million Republic credits in a bank account in Nigeria that somebody left for him, but I need to give him $10,000 good faith money first.

"It's all Obi-Wan's fault!"
Yeah, I've been getting a lot of those recently with the names of family and friends. Usually the subject line "No Subject" is a giveway though occassionally a generic title too. You open the e-mail and you get a generic message. You really have to be careful with those things but they aren't too hard to find.
