I just had a couple of emails sent which, when reported to Spam.org, seems to be involving or using MSE site email address to spoof the IP, or Address the 'return path' is being sent too.
(I am not easily fooled with spam mail, and instantly knew it was a spam)
The subject's on both emails were the same -
RE: Go Shopping at Sainsbury with a 250 Gift Card! Terms Apply
I am always sceptical, but I think the Forum should be aware of this, and the report is stating the actual spam is being sent via Vietnam, but spoofing as MSE.
Both reports was sent and can be viewed here, (although I am not sure what it can really show, i am sure technical staff behind MSE can deal with the issue?
Possibly this could be highlighted somewhere so others are aware?
