AlanHo Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 I have recently received several Emails from various organisations. They are all characterised by having emv1.net at the end of their address.Examples areemail@ emailinform.emv1.net[email protected]The Emails have appeared to be genuine - but not liking the address - I have deleted them.Any comments...?

Boris Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 I also get them :)I think they emanate from the Nectar card people who Sainsburys are affiliated to (along with BP ?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike567 Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 I would say their fake never click any links from them.you would be better off contacting the company's to find out if their fake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcb2001 Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 The only correct thing about an email, is the IP address its send from, which is saved in the TCP package its send in... (which can be changed aswell !!)So the sender is just a header that the sender puts in, to say where the mail is send from, and therefore might not even be the real mail...A good example is gmail, where you can send mails as every other email account you own.I have:MYNAME (at) gmail.comMYNAME (at) MYDOMAIN.comMYNAME (at) MYWORK.comMYNAME (at) MYUNIVERSITY.comall which i have forwarded to gmail, and send from via gmail...So dont look at the sender to find legimate reasons to trust it, look at the content!And ALWAYS be aware of exactly what you do, and what you press...

andsome Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 We have a Sainsbury's credit card and also of course a Nectar account. We also get Nectar points awarded by our energy supplier. We have NEVER received any such e mails. I would assume that they are fake, similar to phishing on bank accounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
