Avoiding Being Tricked by Phlishing Sites by Checking the Mail Route
December 22, 2007 By miketeo
There has been a significant increase in the amount of spams for this week (probably due to Christmas). Phlishing scams have also been on the rise. My thunderbird has this Mail Route Display add-on which can display the route (countries) at which the emails have been relayed through. It’s not 100% accurate due to the difficulties in pin-pointing certain IPs to countries. However, to a certain extent, it can throw up some warning signs on your emails, especially for those phlishing scams which seem like real. If you are a thunderbird user, you may want to look into adding this add-on to your extensions list.
