<<… levy a hefty fine for each violation...in a couple of weeks we can pay off the National Debt…>>
Funny Javier! Probably true… From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of javier.valencia Sent: Saturday, May 06, 2017 3:29 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [RBASE-L] - SPAM The only problem is...how do you white list numbers when the call comes showing your I own phone number? Also, many legit calls, particularly on a budiness line, come from numbers not in your contact list. Congress should pass a law that mandates that unsolicited calls must display the correct number and name of the caller and levy a hefty fine for each violation...in a couple of weeks we can pay off the National Debt. :) Javier Valencia, PE Sent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE Device -------- Original message -------- From: Steve Johnson <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Date: 5/6/17 2:32 PM (GMT-06:00) To: Javier Valencia <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>>, [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Re: [RBASE-L] - SPAM Javier, Thanks for the update, I was not sure exactly what was happening. As far as I know, I have not seen the instance through the group. They are not caught because they are near impossible to find, and/or originating outside the US. But I also get those credit card calls daily with no apparent means to stop them, unless one white lists the numbers in their contact database, rejecting all other calls.

I have received a number of them myself so I know it is a widespread issue and it is now all over the news and looks like it originated with Google who apparently has taken care of it but, since the list is now part of Google groups, it is possible it was compromised. I have changed all my passwords just in case. It is amazing that in this day and age we still don't have the legislation that would severely punish the culprits. I also fail to understand why it is not illegal for telemarketers to use phished phone numbers. I have received calls from the now infamous "Rachel from Card Services" and the caller ID showed my own phone number, amazing. Fortunately, my VOIP now filters most of these calls and if the phone rings just once, then it means the call has been blocked. Even more amazing is that telemarketer wanted Congress to pass a law that would make it illegal to block spam calls.

Without looking at the email headers of the recipient you refer to, this generally would be the result that your email password has been compromised on your email provider's mail server. This is typically a message with content not relevant with your email address as the sender (spoofed email address) Expanding the headers will usually show a different sender or reply to. Some receiving email servers can reject such email, some mark as spam, some let it right through, depends on what additional tools the service provides to control spam. My email provider forced me to change all 40 email passwords in our system to a combination of upper case, lower case, numbers, and symbols with a minimum of 8 characters, as two accounts were compromised. Gone are the days of easy passwords. For sensitive accounts, two factor authentication is a great option if available. Hope this helps a little for all.

I did not keep his name or e-mail in my contacts so I know it did not come from my Outlook contact list. I know other associates have received similar mails and I am not sure how this happened, the sender appears to be a UK domain. I have contacted my email provider and all the proper security measures have been taken and I have scrubbed all my computers using 3 different anti-virus packages. In any case, my emails always include a signature block with my information (see below) which sometimes includes my company information as well, so if you received one that did not include this information, you can safely assume it did not come from me. Amazing that we still do not have the tools to properly eliminate this type of issues.
