I thought I would share this with all the members here.
Although I have only had a handful of very small wins, I am very grateful to all who post solutions and competitions, and,, thought I would share this in the hope that it helps fellow members

Just before I go into this, I want to say that I consider myself quite tech savvy, but even found myself caught out by "most" of these.

I will list 5 examples of email spam/fake/phishinhg abuse, I have recently received.
I have a DEDICATED competition email, and, check the forums each day for competitions here.
I have removed my name / email just in case for security.

Almost all of these emails use the format :-
dear (your name)

The most worrying/upsetting thing for me, is that a few of them used relatives names when sending. I have suffered a tremendous loss recently with my Mother, so I know that these were fake, however it doesn't make it any less distressing.

Example 1: Letter of employment

I have taken the time to do a domain name search, by viewing the email header and then doing a whois check, for registrar information.

These are the senders details:-
th_me@misty-macaque.com
MISTY-MACAQUE.COM
Name Server: NS1.MISTY-MACAQUE.COM
Name Server: NS2.MISTY-MACAQUE.COM
To report abuse
abuse@namesilo.com

Again, this is exactly the same person as example 1:-

MISTY-MACAQUE.COM
Name Server: NS1.MISTY-MACAQUE.COM

This was another worrying one for me. They have a time and date of the flight and everything.
Given that I have entered competitions to win holidays, I was almost fooled by this.
However, a quick google search showed, that is a fraudulent company on a massive scale, taking people's money for flights that never materialise.

Senders details:-
l.me@deficiary.com
Domain Name: DEFICIARY.COM
Name Server: NS1.DEFICIARY.COM
Name Server: NS2.DEFICIARY.COM

abuse@namecheap.com

Example 5

One of the more "traditional" fake emails, this one was easy to spot.

senders details:-
mmm63333www@gmail.com
theaudience@2theaudience.com
Domain Name: 2THEAUDIENCE.COM
Name Server: NS1.FNC.LU
Name Server: NS2.FNC.LU
To report abuse
legal@eurodns.com

For what it's worth, what fooled me, was the fact that I saw what appeared to be genuine notifications from my email provider.
Had it not been for malwarebytes blocking insafe domain names, I would have clicked through, when clicking on these:-

"Do you classify this MESSAGE as unwanted/spam?"

Now compare it to this, notice the difference?

"Do you classify this EMAIL as unwanted/spam?"

This last part really got me thinking. Like I said, I consider myself pretty tech savvy, but when it comes to e-mail, dont trust ANYTHING.
That's my general rule.

I used to be with hotmail, and, last year, spent the best art of 6 hours each day, filtering and tracing spam. I successfully got a lot of domains shut down, as i bombarded the support department with spam email reports, including headers.
For a 1 month period, it was all quite on the western front, probably for a lot of other people too.

If you need help/advice on how to trace/ show headers, what to look for please reply here or PM me, I am happy to help.

I just thought I would post this in the hope that it helps people, as not all competions are created equal!
