So far this morning I have gotten TWO emails identical to this one, they are being sent to MY email address that is attached to my account. I have NO IDEA who these people are, who these "Delivery to the following recipients failed" are. Why are they being sent to me? Each time it's a different email address that it says failed.

From the looks of things the emails appear to be phishing emails, Kitchensink.

If you continue to receive emails of this nature, please forward them to [email protected].

You may also wish to check the headers of the email which can help determine where it originated from. Instructions on how to do so can be found here:
