I got an email from a former bride - with her maiden name in parenthesis in the reply name field so I immediately knew who it was. Her email address (upon further inspection) is missing one letter...
The text of the email follows and the bad bad bad terrible english is a dead give away it's not from her at all (and I doubt she'd be in France).
I have no idea where the perps got my email and her name and email, and Expedia customer care is in the reply to field...
