Dear paintball online.com staff

as a customer of your store in the past i have enjoyed your service.
However i recieved this frightening email today not only spamming my
inbox, but also stating that i could have your domain name...not very
funny...perhaps you might wish to pass this on to your legal counsel?

I was wondering if you might be interested in having your own .com
website so you can sell your Paintball items to all over the world?
All your orders are emailed to you instantly.

We completely set everything up for you, so all you do is send us the
info you would like on the website. Your website is also submitted to
over 1200 search engines so you get plenty of traffic and sales.

Please feel free to see example sites we have created on our website
along with pricing packages. Just let us know what .com names sound
good to you, for example "PaintBallOnline.com"?

Thank you
David

Can you post the headers from the original email? I can tell you a lot more about it from that. I suspect that it's comming from a cable or dsl connected host somewhere in the world, and the owner of the machine has no concept that his/her machine is compromised in some way.

[lord1234]

it was actually sent from a hotmail account...
and the point wasnt to screw over the owner of the original email account..just the company involved

[Hexis]

Well, the from may be a hotmail.com address, but are you sure it was sent from a hotmail account? No offence intenede at all, but do you know how to read email headers?

[lord1234]

hahahahahahahhaha
of course i do silly boy:)

Like I said, no offence. Most folks dont have the slightest clue.
