MODS PLEASE ALLOW. Possible hackers on staples.com

[Hector13]

On a related note (well not really), I was trying to check out the headers on an email yesterday in Outlook 2000, but I couldn't figure out how to do it.

Anyone know?

Actually, what's more likely is that some naughty feller's been spoofing mail. It's ridiculously easy to make mail look like it came from Staples or anyone else. Look at the full headers of the message, and find out where it REALLY came from. If it came from staples.com, it wasn't forged.

Still, the spoofer would have had to get information about your order..... Hmmmm...... Might be a hacker, but it could also have been your little brother.

Outlook 2000?

Open the message. Select View -> Options.

(I get sick of telling people how to do this, since I do it for work - it's a pleasure to help someone outside of work, though..)

Just curious,

When someone sends you a paypal payment, it appears the email it came from is the sender's email addy. When you look at the entire header, does it show its from paypal ?

Thanks

Strange stuff, will be interesting to see whether it was an employee being funny or not.

It's probably someone just messing with you..
I can send an email and make it look like it came from xxx@fbi.gov or cust_serv@staples.com..
But, you should be careful, nonetheless!

Staples gets 'hip' and see what they get! ROTFLMAO!

One of your buddies playing a joke on you; a disgruntal staples.com employee; an employee just screwing around.

I'd be mad if I got that email too. I hate that "all your base" sh!t. It's getting really old.

morkinva:

The return address for the PayPal notification email is the sender's address, BUT the actual headers reveal that it's sent from PayPal's mail server.

WHOA........i know that phrase. I seen that phrases being posted at the computer lab in UCI if you know where that is. I didnt know it was a hackers work.....................

 

[VNamee]

I dunno why, but I think the phrase is kinda cool. I got it stuck on a label on my mailbox at work. heh.

Psst, except it's not plural.

Haven't seen any email like this coming my way, but I'll be on the lookout. Thanks for the heads-up!
