Yeppers, I get tons of emails like that. It "appears" to be from someone I know and is on my mailing list, but the message is simply a title very similar to what you said. It usually doesn't fit the supposed sender's MO because there's no real personal message. Simply something like, "WOW! Check out this link!" I always send them to my SPAM folder without opening. I assume they're sent by some sort of virus from people I know without their knowledge.

I don't really think that should be a concern here on this site though.
