Hi guys, I just received a email that didn't look right from Amazon, it was saying that there was an attempt to get into my Amazon. Com account, I don't have a .com account.

So I got the Amazon number through my app. to ask them if they sent me a email. They said no, so the representative sent me a email on how to report the fake email. So I did. Here is a few screenshots of fake email.

If you look at the detailed email (last one) you can see that it's not a proper email for Amazon.
 
Thank you. I have been getting emails from "Amazon" every day for a while now. I knew they were not from Amazon so I just kept dumping them into spam. I have been getting emails from Kohls and a few other places recently. I keep putting them in spam and cleaning out my spam folder.
These emails have been saying we have been trying to get ahold of you, and other attempts to make it seem urgent. They're barking up the wrong tree if they try to get me excited about such b.s. We just have to keep deflecting these spammers, scammers who keep calling, emailing and whatever attempts they make to suck us in.
 
My Aunt messenger account got hacked about a 2 months ago. I recommend it immediately that it was not her, we only communicate through fb its self. I called her to let her know, they said they will get it back asap.

So about a month ago, she warned her friends on fb that it was happening again. So I told her on fb. That I thought she was a Nigerian princess and gave her $10,000, well she said she never got it and expected e to give her more, lol or was a good laugh.
 
You may be shocked at how often we get calls where people report that they have been swindled into giving out all kinds of personal data. Some of these con artists are slick, most are not, but both leave a whole lot of victims in their wake.

They are slick.
I think the worst are the ones that call my wife purporting to be from the SSA and tell her that there has been unauthorized access to her SS account and that if she doesn't change her password (to them) that her SS payments will be cut off.:eek:
Can you imagine how few grey-haired old ladies with no other source of income will have the nerve to tell them to go ***-themselves?
What would your mom do?

Two things in this world you can count on: death and taxes....
Rest assured, the IRS and the SSA WILL send you a letter!:rolleyes:

My wife gets one of those calls about every week. Last one said she was going to be arrested if she did not reply to the email with her information.
She also got a letter in the mail telling her someone was using her SS# for employment. That one looked pretty legit but she still ignored it.
I put a lock on her credit just to be on the safe side.

I don't answer the phone unless I know the number or if it is a South Dakota number calling, a relative. If it is important enough, they will leave a message. The scammers sometimes leave a message and then I can label it as a scammer.

Once in a while, the same number will keep calling. If I am in the right mood I will play with them. One of them told me my computer had a virus and to let him have access, told me how. Okay. I never let him have access, but I kept him on the line for a good length of time, because I knew the game and I just felt like it at the moment. How to keep people on the line: someone is at the door, hold on. I have to use the restroom, I'll be right back. Wait a minute, I'll be right back. They think they have a live one, they wait. But when they realize they have been played, they are nasty and say nasty things. It does not bother me.
 
We're getting the SSA calls, the fake IRS calls, and calls from "the electric company" saying that our power will be turned off in 30 minutes unless I call their 800 number with my credit card. Also tons of "insurance" calls from "my insurance company". Wanting info to keep me "signed up".
 
This is an email tonight, sender couldn't be further from the truth! I guess if manipulation doesn't work, try scare tactics.

Amazon fakes aren't the only ones! I got one last week from some idiot who claimed to be an FBI agent, and they needed $250 for some kind of "foreign transaction tax" so I could claim a small inheritance from a relative in the UK. Well, #1, I don't HAVE any relatives in the UK; #2, The guy couldn't spell worth crap, ; and #3, the IP Tracer I use showed their computer to be in China (probably a VPN server at that)....but I'd bet a lot of dumbasses sent them $250! You have to be really careful with emails, and particularly emails that ask for personal data or money.

How do you figure out where someone's email is coming from? I have researched that a few times and could never figure it out.

Ha Weedy, I got a similarly disgusting one last week telling me that they were watching me on an adult site. So of course, to send them money. Ha Ha.

Amish, I believe that maybe there is a percent of people who would be guilty. It will never be me. If they are watching my activity, they will see me on Ancestry, Family Search, Czech birth, marriage and death record sites, preparedness forums and sites, YouTube and Facebook. Nothing in any of that to be embarrassed or ashamed of. I have gotten other threats, such as, we know your passwords, send us X amount of money. I would never cave to such threats. They are just trying to see who might believe them. It is not me! If they know my passwords, go ahead. They do not!

Back a couple years ago , I got a threatening email telling that if I didn't send them a payment of $500 , they were going to post all of the photos of me on a porn site.

Now that's funny. I don't even know how to porn.

At my age ....well I won't go there..;):D

I just wonder how many idiots fell for it , that are porny.:dunno:

You get the information from the headers. You may have to click on "details" if your email app does not show the headers. Once you have the info use an app like "whois" to trace the IP address. (https://www.whois.net)
There are other tracking sites/apps as well. I mostly use "whois."

There are two basic steps: Find out the IP address of the sender, then lookup who that IP address belongs to.

It is not difficult, but it may look intimidating below, just due to the technical looking email headers that you need to see. Don't worry, it's not hard, despite your initial reaction to what you see below!

To find the originating IP address, you will need to view your email showing the full headers. Each email client supports this differently. I use Thunderbird for email, and what I do in that email client is choose (highlight) the email I am interested in, then click on View->MessageSource.

Here is an example of a (legitimate) email (source view) that I just received from my bank (Chase Bank in this case). When you see XXXXXXXXXX below, that is me manually blocking out my email address, so that it is not blasted all over the web.

This is an Alert to help you manage your credit card account ending in 5954.

As you requested, we are notifying you of an online, phone or mail order charge.
This charge of ($USD) 7.00 at QQQQQ... has been authorized on 09/23/2019 12:40:02 PM EDT.

Start at the BOTTOM of the email above and start lookup UPWARDS for lines that start with "Received: from". The reason you start from the bottom is because you want to find the FIRST IP address that is mentioned. As emails bounce across the internet on their way to delivery, each hop PREPENDS its own information to the TOP of this listing. So you have to start looking from the bottom, to find the initial guy who created the email.

In the example above, the first line that meets that criteria is:
Code: 
Received: from cdc2vpc5lpr20 (loopback [127.0.0.1])

We always ignore any line that references 127.0.0.1, and continue the search upwards. The next line that meets the criteria is:
Code: 
Received: from cdc2vpc5lpr20.svr.us.jpmchase.net (cdc2vpc5lpr20.svr.us.jpmchase.net [169.121.236.225])

This is the line you want. Specifically, what you want is the IP address, which is:
Code: 
169.121.236.225

Note that you may have to do some side-to-side scrolling in your brower to see that 169 number above, it's off to the right and may not be initially visible. Also note that there is other stuff around that IP address that mentions "jpmchase", which is "J.P. Morgan Chase" ... my bank. But do not trust this, as it can be spoofed by a good hacker. The actual IP address, "169.121.236.225" cannot easily be spoofed.

So now we have completed step one of identifying where our email came from. We have the senders IP address. Now we want to do a lookup on that to see who/what/where it is. This is called a "whois" lookup. There are several places on the web where you can do this lookup. One such place being http://ip-whois-lookup.com/ So go there, on on the upper right part of the webpage there is a place labeled "Whois Lookup". Cut-n-paste the IP address that you found above into that dialog box and click "Go".

This is what showed up with a whois lookup for my example email above:

Code: 
NetRange: 169.64.0.0 - 169.127.255.255
CIDR: 169.64.0.0/10

Note that this whois lookup indeed references "JPMorgan Chase & Co" many times. So this has given us the real senders identity.

The above steps are how I would verify that an email I received allegedly from Chase Bank did indeed come from Chase Bank.

The hardest part is probably the very first step: Figuring our how your specific email client (Thunderbird, Gmail, Outlook, or whatever) allows you to "view the message source". Some email clients may call this "View Headers". Note that Thunderbird also has a "View Headers" that you can click on, but that shows you a very abbreviated view that does not contain the information you need. You have to use "View Message Source" to find what you need in Thunderbird. Other email clients may be easier or more difficult. You could probably do a Google search on "how to display email headers using XXX" to find out what to do.

I've been getting a message that starts this way, for months. It assumes that I use a laptop with camera to record myself masturbating while watching internet porn. I wonder how many 'hits' they get.

Note that you may have to do some side-to-side scrolling in your brower to see that 169 number above, it's off to the right and may not be initially visible. Also note that there is other stuff around that IP address that mentions "jpmchase", which is "J.P. Morgan Chase" ... my bank. But do not trust this, as it can be spoofed by a good hacker. The actual IP address, "169.121.236.225" cannot easily be spoofed.

So now we have completed step one of identifying where our email came from. We have the senders IP address. Now we want to do a lookup on that to see who/what/where it is. This is called a "whois" lookup. There are several places on the web where you can do this lookup. One such place being http://ip-whois-lookup.com/ So go there, on on the upper right part of the webpage there is a place labeled "Whois Lookup". Cut-n-paste the IP address that you found above into that dialog box and click "Go".

This is what showed up with a whois lookup for my example email above:

Note that this whois lookup indeed references "JPMorgan Chase & Co" many times. So this has given us the real senders identity.

The above steps are how I would verify that an email I received allegedly from Chase Bank did indeed come from Chase Bank.

The hardest part is probably the very first step: Figuring our how your specific email client (Thunderbird, Gmail, Outlook, or whatever) allows you to "view the message source". Some email clients may call this "View Headers". Note that Thunderbird also has a "View Headers" that you can click on, but that shows you a very abbreviated view that does not contain the information you need. You have to use "View Message Source" to find what you need in Thunderbird. Other email clients may be easier or more difficult. You could probably do a Google search on "how to display email headers using XXX" to find out what to do.

I've been getting a message that starts this way, for months. It assumes that I use a laptop with camera to record myself masturbating while watching internet porn. I wonder how many 'hits' they get.

Our LEO computer crimes guys tell us the porn sites are not a problem, as the porn industries makes a FORTUNE off of those sites. So they protect it with high dollar security and high dollar Techs. They claim the most vulnerable sites are Christian and other religious sites that spend far less on security. And because people in those groups tend to be more trusting and have more money.
