Note:
Spam with a Forged TekGuard.com
Address
If you have received unsolicited
email (“spam”) with TekGuard.com
in the return address, the message
was forged. We have
had reports of Spam (ex: “Register
for a Visa, vfpj@tekguard.com”)
showing TekGuard.com in the return
address. If you inspect the email
headers, you will find that it did
not come from any of our servers.
Unfortunately, at this time, the
email protocol standard is so
vulnerable that anyone
can make an email look like it is
coming from anyone
- TekGuard.com, your address, or
GWBush@Whitehouse.org. And there is
nothing you or we can do to prevent
that kind of forgery, often referred
to as a “Joe Job”. The only thing
you can do is inspect the email
headers to see where it really came
from.
VINFO's TekGuard Email Server and
Outlook PlugIn are helping people
like you fight Spam - so the
spammers are attacking us. With your
help, we can put them out of
business.
Given that these spammers are using
a forged return address, which is
prohibited under the US CAN-SPAM
act, we recommend boycotting
any of the products that they
promote.
Please feel free to contact us
regarding this problem.
