    It's mildly entertaining that this sort of stuff is still going on:

    Not that I am aware of. That was totally bogus.

    The books@ashlies address is an email forward configuration to
    my main email address.

    So clearly, books@ashlies was scraped from my site or
    elsewhere and the bogus message assumed that it was my account
    email.

    So clearly you're dealing with lazy scammers.
