TELKOM!

The message was received from [email protected] and it reads:

"Free games, What more do we need to say? http://85.136.94.199/"

The (ironic, no, sadistic) subject line??? "SOMETHING FOR FREE....."



And I haven't held a Telkom account since the early 2000's. You just can't win here...

Sender Policy Framework should get that puppy not to be delivered to you. Shame that Telkom don't follow those standards

I was about to say... Can Telkom not afford proper DNS names these days and resorted to IPs.

The mail is fake and not from Telkom.
