Mine was from "Jean" <project@whistoric.net>

I typed @whistoric.net into my browser, a page came up that said the following:

"Unsubscribe My Address

Thanks for your interest in our special email offers.

If you wish not to receive any more special offers from us, please submit your email address below."

There was a box to type into and a button saying 'Unsubscribe'

I did not type my email in as I was unaware I had ever subscribed to such emails and I presume this is yet another scam. The page did have a 'Privacy Policy' and a 'Disclaimer' which were a load of rubbish too!
