uku2 Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Hello, I reported the following spam mail, http://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z3831942130z9...83789403a61350z which contains a HTML attachment that tries to direct the visitor to the Spammer's web site, probably for phishing, but the parser does not find any links. I examined the email body and found that it is base64 encoded, so I followed the procedure for decoding base64 bodies and replaced it with the decoded text. However, the parser still does not find any links: http://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z3831997023zc...94ac2bc17295efz Anything else I could try? (Without breaking the rules, that is.) uku2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turetzsr Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Hi, uku2! <snip> Anything else I could try? (Without breaking the rules, that is.) ...There sure is -- you can process the URL itself in the Online (www.spamcop.net) parser to find the abuse address and submit a complaint directly to the abuse address! For example, I see "http: / /www.paypal.com<slash>cgi-bin/webscr" [link intentionally broken] in the spam; the parser says:SpamCop v 4.6.0.031 © 1992-2010 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Parsing input: http: / /www.paypal.com<slash>cgi-bin/webscr [link intentionally broken by me] ISP does not wish to receive report regarding http: / /www.paypal.com<slash>cgi-bin/webscr [link intentionally broken by me] ISP does not wish to receive reports regarding http: / /www.paypal.com<slash>cgi-bin/webscr [link intentionally broken by me] - no date available Routing details for 66.211.169.65 [refresh/show] Cached whois for 66.211.169.65 : network[at]ebay.com Using abuse net on network[at]ebay.com abuse net ebay.com = report[at]reportphish.org, reportphishing[at]antiphishing.org, spoof[at]ebay.com Using best contacts report[at]reportphish.org reportphishing[at]antiphishing.org spoof[at]ebay.com Reports disabled for spoof[at]ebay.com Using spoof#ebay.com[at]devnull.spamcop.net for statistical tracking. So you could send a complaint to: report[at]reportphish.org reportphishing[at]antiphishing.org and, if you're inclined to ignore the note that the ISP does not wish to receive such reports, spoof[at]ebay.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farelf Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 ... and, if you're inclined to ignore the note that the ISP does not wish to receive such reports, spoof[at]ebay.com If they're like spoof[at]paypal.com they will accept and react to such 'manual' reports - without commentary, without munging, just simply forwarded as an attachment with no other 'processing'.

Fonman805 Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Anything else I could try? (Without breaking the rules, that is.) On the Security Center page of the PayPal site there are links for how to: "Report fake (phishing) email" https://www[dot]paypal[dot]com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=xpt/Marketing/securitycenter/antiphishing/PPPhishingReport-outside or "Report fake (spoof) websites" https://www[dot]paypal[dot]com/ewf/f=pps_spf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
