Spam!

In the past couple of days we have been getting spam from... well... us...B) Not really, but someone out there is sending spam with the support@icetips.com in the From header, like:

From: "icetips.com" <support@icetips.com>

The real sender is from industryd0463@resaleworld.com or some other name at resaleworld.com, but even this is bogus. I have been in touch with them and they assured me that this email address does not exist on their servers and has nothing to do with them. In my case the URL in the email is pointing to http://www.bims.web.tr/index2.html which can't be resolved, and pinging it says it can't be found, but the .tr country extension belongs to Turkey.

The content of the email is text indicating that your account needs to be attended to with a link, something like this:

"REFERENCE: Your Email to .

You recently sent email to a mailbox that requires authentication of the sender to reduce spam. Before your message can be delivered you must confirm that you are the sender by clicking on the link below and then clicking on the "Deliver" button that will be displayed. Once you have completed this step, no further authorization will be required for future emails that you send to this address.

Please confirm your email by visiting the URL

Thank you for your cooperation in helping us to fight spam.

So if you get an email like this, you can be absolutely sure that it has nothing to do with us and did not come from us!
