Guest guest Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Dear Miss Kari Need some help with understanding this as my mind is normally in other areas brain Are you saying that someone could buy internet services and set up their website with .com by useing our credit card number and by useing our email address If this is true it sounds uncontrollable Could you please tell me how a person could take my email address Thanks DharmaDev karisprowl <karisprowl <karisprowl <> Saturday, December 21, 2002 4:14 PM Spoofing Looks like Mr. D's e-mail address has been "spoofed" by the Nepali rudraxa guy. That means that someone else sent mail under Mr. D's address. That's being done to a lot of people, lately. My fiance and two of my friends have been victims, because of their politics. A UCLA professor had to change her e-mail, after it was done to her, too many times. I recently got a message FROM me, that I DAMNED well hadn't written. Technically, spoofing is a federal crime. But, neither the feds nor the Federal Trade Commission will do anything, unless one can prove that money has been actually st Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 No, it's simpler than that. Someone could simply put your e-address into his own outgoing mail settings. No credit card fraud would be needed. If it gets to be too much of a nuisance (he might have done this only the one time), you can file a complaint on-line with the FBI Computer Fraud Division, and another complaint (also on-line) with the FTC. They won't do anything, but you will get a case file number e-mailed to you. Then, you can tell the guy that you have filed complaints with the FBI and the FTC. That might scare him off. , "ShiningLotus" <shininglotus@c...> wrote: > Dear Miss Kari > > Need some help with understanding this as my mind is normally in other areas brain > > Are you saying that someone could buy internet services and set up their website with .com by useing our credit card number and by useing our email address > > If this is true it sounds uncontrollable > > Could you please tell me how a person could take my email address > > Thanks > > DharmaDev > > karisprowl <karisprowl@e...> <karisprowl@e...> > <> > Saturday, December 21, 2002 4:14 PM > Spoofing > > > Looks like Mr. D's e-mail address has been "spoofed" by the Nepali > rudraxa guy.
