I'm in the USA. I have been receiving emails, supposedly from FedEx,
saying that there is a problem with a shipment to me and asking me to
open the attached shipping label, which is a compressed file. My ISP
marks these as spam, but sends them to me, which is consistent with what
I have asked them to do. I suspect this is malware, because I am not
expecting any shipments, and the shipment number they put in the header
draws nothing when I go to the FedEx site to trace the shipment.
In the past, I have discarded these, or sent them to my ISP who probably
discards them. But the frequency is increasing and I am thinking that
there must be some law enforcement agency that can deal with these
knaves. Our city police have no such office, and apparently are not
equipped to deal with this.
Does any one know of a place these can be sent that would be interested
in investigating and prosecuting?
William, as suggested by Ed, W3BNR, in one of the other posts, I forward
copies of Spam/Malware/Unsolicited e-mail to SpamCop,
https://www.spamcop.net/mcgi?action=loginform,
At that site, I've chosen to purchase (i.e. donate a few bucks) some
support, then, when I get Spam/Malware/Unsolicited e-mail (which I get a
fair whack of each day), I go to the SpamCop site, log in and then send
them copies of each of the suspicious e-mails.
1. In SeaMonkey, with the suspicious e-mail selected, select
View->Headers->Full.
2. Select Message->Forward As->Inline.
3. Cut and Paste everything below the dashed "Forward" line into a text
editor such as Notepad/Wordpad (but not MS Word or similar)
4. Check the start of each line in the Header information to insure that
if it doesn't start with a "colonised" word (e.g. X-Mozilla-Status:,
Return-Path:, MIME-Version:, Date: *Note each Header Line should start
with a single word followed by a colon* followed by its setting/data).
If the Header Line does not start with a "colonised" word, indent it
with a TAB. Don't worry about altering that actual e-mail data, just the
Header.
5. Copy/Cut the altered e-mail and Paste it into the space provided on
https://www.spamcop.net/
6. Click on Process Spam.
(If you haven't paid/contributed, you will get a 6 or 7 Sec delay screen)
7. If all has gone well, you should then see a screen with various
e-mail addresses that will receive reports, based on the header
information in each e-mail that you have sent to SpamCop.
8. Click on "Send Report" or similar.
I don't know if it actually does any good, but at least it makes me feel
good that I am doing my little bit to stop spam!! :-)
