gotitbro 0 Posted December 7, 2017 Something interesting happened while I was reporting a spam/scam email on Spamcop it showed this email to send the reports to: forged-ip[at]don.spamcop.net Can anyone tell me why was this email shown for reporting the spam than the one that should have been? Hereis the reporting URL: https://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z6427587004ze793e9bd1ae8a89992c6ef428a559524z Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gotitbro 0 Posted December 9, 2017 @petzl So the Panama IP is the one sending the spam email? Can you please tell me what is actually happening in the spam email. The headers aren't correct? I am only using the Gmail web client and I don't recognize that my account has been compromised. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
petzl 0 Posted December 9, 2017 (edited) A old trick used by spammers is to name your computer (in this case) 169.254.3.185 Misconfigured Mail server pick this up, then stamp it as source IP The quote would be MY submission notes to the Panamanian spam source, it is not a Botnet but a compromised computer, I'm hopefully sure you are using a virus/malware scanner Windows defender is presently the best for WIN users (paid for when one buys Windows) Quote 173.209.60.44] Panama compromised/forged web and or email accounts If Microsoft Windows Defender is available to you, use it Change log-on to a more secure password-Phrase!
