email subject: "AS-SALAM ALAIKUM"

Hi! Does that mean anything or just gibberish?
Thanks!

It is the polite greeting in Arabic (used by Muslims).

thats what I was thinking - it sounded arabic when I said it.

be careful it might be a spam or hacker. I had those a while back and I deleted every one of them!

Hi Lisa

Is there any message in the body of the email?

I'd probably delete it, but that's just ultra-cautious me.

ETA, if it has an attachment do not open it or respond in any way.

Thanks! This is the third day in a row an email with that subject has gone to my spambox. I've been deleting them. I obviously don't speak Arabic, hahaha.
From "[email protected]" --- sounds like more gibberish...
Now if anyone ever says 'AS-SALAM ALAIKUM' to me, I'll know to say 'Hello' back.

Lisa
