Hello guys, i found this very weird e-mail from the podsta e-mails with an attachment which isn't from the person who write the e-mail himself.
Georgetown Law Faculty and Staff,
My parents are visiting this weekend, and I need to sell my enormous collection of beanie babies! I've approximately 480 little creatures of joy, and I'm selling each one for $20.00. You must buy all 480, though. It is a collection (not an auction)... They are very respectful and amicable with one another, and they are (for the most part) cat and dog friendly. Some are sassier than others, naturally.
Please let me know! My parents can't find out.

So, this was the mail and just read it... whathefuck? It had an attachment containing this collection of beanie babies: see here.
I really didn't get the purpose of this e-mail and i started to search further and i found that the photo has been posted April 3, 2014 while the mail was sent on July 30, 2015
I found the photo on this website who posted it earlier (this was just a quick search, it's probably even older): see here.
Why would someone send such a weird e-mail and add a photo which isn't his?

That email has been going around everywhere. I think it was legitimate at first (someone trying to sell beanie babies) but it ended up just getting forwarded everywhere, probably because it was funny.
Someone posted it on Reddit a year ago
I know this because i searched this path yesterday and ended up there!
