"Spam increase to Freeola email"

Sorry it's always me...;¬)


Any other Freeola users noticed an increase in SPAM recently?

We've just had a pretty good run of low levels of SPAM, but for the large range of domain/emails I look after I can see a recent increase.


If there's anything Freeola can check/update it would be appreciated.

Am I right in thinking SPAM email samples sent as attachments via Outlook are still no use to you?


Thanks.

Just noticed the last few crap mails that have come through seem to have been sent to [email protected] and that's not my email address ? :S

Can forward a couple of them on if required.

Hi pete_21,
As I mentioned earlier I'm seeing some dodgy Freeola account spoofing going on as well.

I've been sending examples to Freeola's abuse@ address.

Don't forward them but send them as attachments so that the 'email headers' remain intact.

@Freeola - any feedback would be welcomed...

Hi Hmmm, have always seen this type of spoofing - your email address just seems to be a variant of many.

@pete

"Just noticed the last few crap mails that have come through seem to have been sent to [email protected] and that's not my email address ? :S"

...but your email address may begin with 'pet...' , but I do know what you mean - tonights haul promised me diplomas and a pitiful letter from some russian chick + photo:-((

Sent a few in guys.Hope they help ?.

One was from a Fannie Rivers.If I knew someone by that name I think I would have remembered them.

The Russian bride was spam ? Oh no! your breaking my heart! I thought that was a good deal. :-)

Due to the current deluge of spam, I've now found (with the aid of Mailwasher) that a few of my (spoofed) email addresses have been marked by Spamcop. Lovely.

Hi Freeola,
Any update on the SPAM situation please?

I have clients that are contacting me about this. I'm replying telling them you are aware of it and the problem is in hand and things will improve soon - hope that's right :¬)

Thanks.

Hi Hmmm....

I appreciate that this issue is frustrating for all involved but I'm afraid I can only assure you that we are continuing to do whatever we can to investigate. I will ask ncrs to post any updates.

In the meantime, one of my addresses that was "effected" has seen a massive reduction in the quantity. Is this the case with any of your other accounts, or is the consistency still the same?

Hi Warhunt, You've been quiet lately?!
Still about the same here I'm afraid.

Sent another selection of SPAM to abuse@ earlier today.

Thanks for the update.
