Okay, this is weird...

Bound to be some new scam or other, but I now have four emails between two inboxes "verifying my membership" for websites I never signed up on, wanting me to click a link. All it is, though, is an IP number...and they're different for each one:

24.95.60.212 -- Web Connects (Road Runner HoldCo LLC, in Herndon, VA)
24.95.129.106 -- Recipes Galore (Road Runner HoldCo LLC, in Herndon, VA)
66.189.102.11 -- Cat Lovers (Charter Communications)
69.14.171.116 -- Dog Lovers (WideOpenWest LLC, based in Michigan)

I did WhoIs IP searches and found out the info in parentheses; anyone out there want to dig any deeper? Seems like a sneaky way to infect someone's machine with a virus...

I don't even bother checking anything with emails like that; I mark them as spam (unless they got diverted to the spam folder) and delete.

Irritating, aren't they?
