Title: AUTO-SPAM (from my Yahoo mail)
Post by: MSL on July 23, 2011, 05:10:25 PM

  I got 2 e-mails today - one from a sinology woman and another one from my friend - Mr. Michev. Both from Bulgaria. They asked me: "Is this a spam?" I saw that something was sent them links from my yahoo mail. I answered them that it is some kind of virus and I can't send this type of emails to them (recently I even don't use my email often, I prefer my Skype and my QQ chats). And according to the "TO:" information, these spam e-mails were sent to many of my contacts in Bulgaria and abroad. I don't want to open these links to check out what's there, because it's not important - the auto-spam is the fact.
 Any advises? I already asked one computer engineer and I am reading online what the others wrote about it...
 Disgusting auto-spam !  >:(

 It continues. Today I saw that a friend of mine sent me e-mail, where quotes "my" spam-mail to her and to many other contacts there. The content is:

I found out that this auto-spam is called E-mail spoofing.
