From: Frans Ketelaars <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Today 19:04:15 This is not spam related, I just made a typo: typing an 'i' instead of in 'e' in your URL takes you to a site that pretends to be symantec. I hope this helps! -Frans ------------------------------------------------------------------ I guess in my email to symantec I used a wrong address but I couldn't find a better one :( The reaction from symantec seems some standard reply... -------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank You for Your Spam Report to Our Brand Protection Team From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Frans Ketelaars <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Today 19:22:40 Thank you for taking the time to alert us about the SPAM (unsolicited e-mail) you received. Please be advised that the e-mail you forwarded to us is not affiliated with Symantec or any approved Symantec partner and has been sent without Symantec's knowledge or consent. This e-mail may very well be offering counterfeit and/or pirated software or may be a credit card scam. SPAMs offering deeply discounted Norton or Symantec brand products are highly suspicious and are investigated by Symantec. If you continue to receive e-mails offering Symantec software at deeply discounted prices and/or if the offers say that the software will arrive in anything other than Symantec's standard yellow boxes, the offer may very well be illegal in nature. In response to these e-mails and the organizations/individuals behind them, Symantec has developed a task force to investigate the e-mails and put a stop to their proliferation, including initiating criminal and civil action as appropriate. We ask you for your assistance in helping us put a stop to this practice by continuing to forward any similar e-mails to our task force at [EMAIL PROTECTED], so that we can investigate who is sending the e-mails and attempt to stop them. We rely on reports from individuals such as you, employees and contacts throughout the hi-tech industry about SPAMs such as this. If you have purchased software purported to be a Symantec software product through any of these SPAM offers, we would appreciate it if you would send us the disc you received together with the sleeve, the envelope it was mailed to you in and any packaging, invoices, e-mails, order forms and proof of payment or other documentation you have relating to this purchase. We will then examine the product to determine if it is counterfeit or authentic. Please send these materials to "Investigations Manager, Symantec Corporation, 20330 Stevens Creek Blvd., Cupertino, CA 95014." Lastly, we also advise you not to respond to these e-mails, as any response only confirms the accuracy of your e-mail address, resulting in even more messages filling up your In Box. Even though we do not authorize them, we apologize for any inconvenience these e-mails have caused you and pledge to you that we are doing our best to put a stop to them. For more information please go to http://www.symantec.com and visit our SpamWatch Response Center at http://www.symantec.com/spamwatch/ to learn more about SPAM and piracy, including the warning signs and tips to help you protect your privacy and avoid SPAM and credit card fraud scams. If you have concerns about a product you have ordered from a SPAM offer (including nondelivery of product) using your credit card, you may also wish to contact your credit card institution to see what remedies may be available to you. You may also wish to read Business Week's article entitled "Software Scams on Internet Time" to learn more about our efforts to combat SPAM and the proliferation of pirated and counterfeit Symantec software at http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/02_39/b3801035.htm Thank you again.
