Where do I report fake microsoft emails

S

Sanchez

For the past month, I have received many emails, claiming
to be from microsoft, even linking itself to microsoft's
actual site. The email tells you to download an
installer package that would update your system...yeah
right.

Here is the header info:

No where.
Many people are getting them some people are getting more than a
thousand a day.
Microsoft already knows.

The only useful thing is to try to find the real origin
(not always a simple task) and report to the ISP that
provides the IP access, and then it is up to them to
take some action to restrict the infected machines of
their customers.

why don't u simply remove the requirement to give an
email address on this newsgroup then the people who send
these emails will have less places to look for victims.

Why don't you just use a Fake or Mundged address like most of us do. My
displayed e-mail here is a throw-away account that I rarely even check.


Oops. Just checked you e-amil and you did munge it.
