Bogus emails from admin@fepower.net
« on: March 15, 2016, 08:06:28 AM »
Just wondering if anybody else has received these?  I've received a couple over the last week; apparently some spammer or hacker is spoofing the fepower.net domain name and sending out bogus emails that look like they are coming from admin@fepower.net, with attachments that are probably viruses or malware of some sort.  Please note that the only legitimate email address from fepower.net is mine (jayb@fepower.net), and if you get something from another similar address, it is probably bogus.  Thanks, Jay

No here as well. The only thing I get are notices from the forum, and I just delete them.

So you aren't really a Nigerian prince that invested heavily in Ford's racing program and have turn key SOHC engines to send to the USA?

Damn.  Guess I'll stick with my junk.

Nothing from FEPower.net so far, but I've been getting hammered on my work domain emails with ransomware attachments.  They are trying REALLY hard to target small businesses lately.

I wish I could reach through the wires and strangle those idjuts.  I've also implemented a secure local network backup solution in case one of our computers does get locked down. 

Be careful out there!

You could get a "Jerk" attitude and announce it's an accomplishment to be spam'd!
