Spam email purportedly from SJD

[SlipTheJab]

And the reason they use a spreadsheet rather than an on line portal is that it's less hackable

[BlasterBates]

Probably spoof e-mails. The same thing happened to my yahoo mail account. Once the contact list is out there it goes on for months using different e-mail pseudonyms that sound plausible.

Yep I received the vegetable email as well. When I contacted SJD they said:

Thank you for forwarding this across. This is a fake email which has not been sent by SJD Accountancy. Our IT team our looking into this issue.

If it was fake and not sent by SJD why would their IT team be looking into it?

Presumably because there has been a leak of their email database?

I have yet to receive a response to my contact


Mine was was signed by sjdaccountancy.com when I looked at the headers - I'm not an expert on this stuff, but as far as I could tell it came from their domain.

[SneakySimon]

Agreed, definitely from there domain - the email chain address was perfect, even the email signature is correct of the accountant.

I suspect they are trying to not freak people out that essentially, someone has got past there firewall.

[NotAllThere]

Probably spoof e-mails...

That's my thought. It's easy enough to make an email look like it's come from any email address at all. Can someone publish the email headers here?

[mudskipper]

Slightly convoluted route as myco domain is alias for mydomain, which fwds to my mypersonal gmail account ...
I rarely use myCo's email address - but I was an SJD customer, so they would have it on their list.

I'm an ex SJD customer and got the exact same email.

[sofaofthedamned]

It may have been their mailing list providers that was compromised.

I've bought a couple of things from partsgateway for my car, and I get spam to partsgateway@mydomain.com - a bit of Googling showed other people had the same issue.

Obviously reporting this to the company elicited no response as usual.
