[DX] POSSIBLE E-MAIL FORGERY - FRAUD

[Alfred J. Cammarata]

Attn:  WEBMASTERS & to the qth.net ham community.

 For a few months I have been receiving several e-mails daily - many with
what appear to be valid amateur e-mail addresses which I have searched on
QRZ and other directories.  The e-mails contain comments in the text such
as: "funny", "Please stop this it is illegal". 'Can you send me more
photos?", "Are you sure your figures are correct", "Can you send me more
information", "How can you do this?" etc accompanied with an attachment.

The forwarded message shows the originator as
"italiancookbook1 at juno.com".  This is my current e-mail account but I am
NOT the originator of this nasty material. If anyone has received it, I
want you to know I am a victim of e-mail forgery and not the originator.
I have informed my ISP but so far I have had no word from them. I have
also informed the USSS (US Secret Service and US FTC - Federal Trade
Commission) because of possisble fraud and violation of Federal SPAM/SCAM
laws. 

WARNING:  Some of the attachments may contain a virus.  Until I am able
to resolve this problem. Anyone that receives an e-mail with the
originator address italiancookbook1 at juno.com with an attachment please do
not open the attachment.

All e-mails I originate contain my name and callsign at bottom of the
text as indicated below. Any others you can consider suspect.  Tnx & 73
