Weird emails with no text and senders

Dogsparky

So i am getting these emails or something with no text in them,there are no senders and no way to view the message source either, so how am i getting these if no one is sending them? In get these messages at least 3 times a day. Which arr labeled kazoo noises. I use outlook.

Dont open them,  its either spam or a virus. I'm supprised that outlook hasnt auto marked them as spam. Flag them yourself and delete them.

I don't want to have to keep deleting then though, there is literally nothing them and after opening them for the past like week malwarebytes hasn't found anything and even Microsoft when i called them hasn't seen anything,so how do i stop these from coming besides making an account

As I don't use Outlook I'm not sure, just have a search online.

If they really are empty, then somewhere out there, there's a person having a lot of fun pranking you. I remember a friend of mine did this on the school network when he discovered a flaw in how the mass email worked on the university's internal email server.

I am getting a lot of spammer/scammer emails too.

Random Banks

Money Sent

Closed Account

Just begging for me to open them. But why would I?

there is no email or sender though, no senders or text in there that shows anything all it has is the kazoo noises tag

So someone is just spoofing something that has no sender or email address, that is fun

If you have access to the email server, then yes, you can send it with no info attached, however, Gmail and other bigger providers will stop the email from sending if you do that.

This is the most hilarious thing I have seen in 24 hours. I imagine it is a techy friend of yours who is pranking you. Ask all your friends, virtual and physical, if it is them. I don't think it is malicious but it could be a brand new exploit and you could be patient zero. Good luck and thanks for the laugh.

none of my friends have my email address, i have only ever signed up for steam and linustechtips.com with it, so either someone on here got a hold of it or my friends learned how to hack or whatever in two weeks. my steam profile is private and i don't have them added on steam yet so there is no way they could have gotten my email since they can't get to my computer unless they actually come over here and no one has seen or touched my phone once since normally when i bring it to our hang out days i don't have on me, it is at home so i highly doubt it is anyone i know
