Don’t Click Anything in That Email ‘The New York Times’ Just Sent You

December 29th, 2011

FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda

If you were anywhere near Twitter at about 2 p.m. on Tuesday afternoon, you already know that the email from The New York Times to you, “Home Delivery Subscriber,” is a fake. Moments after the email started to appear in what seems to be thousands of inboxes, the paper’s communication department rushed to alert its readers and followers that the email asking recipients who had recently cancelled their Times subscriptions to “reconsider” was not sent by The New York Times. If you received an email that looks something like the one below, do not click any of the links. Computer viruses will inevitably ensue.

It’s unclear from whom the email came, though the reply to address reads “The New York Times [email protected].” Indeed, The Times owns that domain, which redirects to its website, NYTimes.com, but it’s pretty easy to fake the From: field in an email blast. We’ve reached out to The Times to learn more about the spam or, as some people suggested on Twitter, the potential hack and will update you when we hear back.
