Reputation

Is it important? Obviously, some doesn't think so. Guess many of u experience spam emails, some claiming to be sent from reputable organisations that u'd won prizes etc. I had my fair share. Recently, I received one claiming to be sent from one of my email service provider, so I forwarded it to them to alert them that there's a possibility that someone out there is using their name for fraudulent purposes.

The reply I got was that it wasn't sent from their ISP so they couldn't do anything about it. Then they listed some tools which I may use to track down this conman.

This was what I told them:

"Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I have no intention to track the sender, after all I'm just concern that this is an email sent with the intention to con people using XXXXX's identity. It'll be great if your organisation takes action against such fraudulent activities, since it's the reputation of XXXXX which is at stack.

If XXXXX can't do anything to protect it's name, guess there's nothing I can do too.

Best Regards,

Loi Yi"

Aftermath: I just received a reply, from another staff, with EXACTLY the same message sent to me previously. Guess they r not too concern whatever was delivered to them. Just sent back a standard template. Goes to show one thing, they must have received plenty of similar alert. Yet......
