I did not spend much time on it. Some, ill informed or naive people would have just paid it, or it could have been an attempt to infect a (MS Windows) PC, or it could have been an attempt to get bank a/c details.

The email came through a public mailing list, so as others have already said, there's zero reason to believe that it is a legitimate invoice intended for you (for any value of "you"). Therefore: Just delete the email. Also note that the "from" name and email address is almost certainly faked in some way shape or form. It may or may not actually belong to a real person, but even if it does, that person is almost certainly a victim themselves. DO NOT direct any complaints to that email address; more generally, do not direct complaints to the envelope-from email address of _any_ spam. Spam occasionally getting through here is an unfortunate side-effect of the debian-user mailing list being set up to allow people who aren't already subscribed to it to post to it. -- Michael Kjörling https://michael.kjorling.se “Remember when, on the Internet, nobody cared that you were a dog?”
Re: Suspicious "invoice" email?
ahem, I got it as well. Having never heard of the company, i simply removed it..although? Given Google's decision to remove basic html, which gave users the ability to flag such addresses, that someone still sent spam says allot about google speaking personally.

If I receive it that way, I know that it is definitely not legitimate mail. -- Gruß Marco Send unsolicited bulk mail to 1715952515mu...@cartoonies.org
