*Spoofed Email Addresses…

As spam traffic levels continue to increase, so too do the tactics used by spammers.
Recent support tickets show a growing concern among email users about the “from” addresses used by spammers to generate junk mail.

Spammers use a technique of sending out Spam emails from random email addresses some of which are often legitimate business email addresses that have simply been spoofed.

If you find that you receive a spam message from a collegue, a supplier you deal with or any known organisation, be aware that it more than likely has a spoofed “from” email address and that it was not legitimately sent to you.

In some situations, you may even receive a spam mail which has a spoofed “from” address which is your own email address!!
