There is one malicious hacker who is doing all these and using new phishing tricks to hack libertyreserve accounts. He asks the investor to do all of the above things and in the FROM field it looks like the email came from winnerearn, after60days, etc. But actually it did NOT come from them, it's done through email manipulation. This is known as email spoofing. Let me explain you what is email spoofing or forged email. Here is an experiment example of email spoofing, but remember that you do not use it for criminal purpose. It's being disclosed by me with a 100% pure educative intention to make people aware about various types of cyber crime and various types of techniques and methods that malicious hacker use to send above types of email:
Step 1: Go to
*
Step 2: You will see four text boxes with labels such as "FROM NAME" "FROM EMAIL" "TO" "SUBJECT" "MESSAGE BODY"
Step 3: Now suppose I want to send an email to fool or cheat person for example let's take username "TEcHGuRu" and want to use the name of "extrafxincomes.com or after60days.com ; with an intention that TEcHGuRu thinks that mail came from extrafxincomes or from after60days.com but actually some other person has sent this who is a malicious hacker.
Step 4: So, what a hacker does is that he goes on anonymailer.net and enters "
*" or "
*" in the NAME FIELD and also enters "
*" or "
*" in the FROM EMAIL field. And in the TO FIELD he enters the email id of TEcHGuRu. And in the MESSAGE FIELD he writes the above mentioned message which TEcHGuRu has posted on this thread. And then the malicious hacker clicks on send button.
Now what happens? When TEcHGuRu receives email in his inbox, it looks like as if it came from after60days or extrafxincomes whereas some malicious hacker sent it. So, this is what is called email spoofing where the actual email sending hacker uses the name of some other person and cheats by taking benefit of reputed brand name or taking benefit of those hyips which are genuine. This is just an example, no doubt extrafxincomes and after60days are NOT genuine. But this is just an example where I have used their names to explain the facts about email spoofing to all of you with an intention to make all of you aware.
Have a nice day.
