Why do you receive emails about your account at a bank when you do not have an account at that bank?
This is a fraud technique call 'phishing.'
They perpatrator sends out spam emails to thousands of people using any one of a number of techniques and throw away mail boxes. Out of the thousands of people that get the message, a few dozen may actually have an account with the bank in question.
If they actually believe the email is real, they will click on the link, which will look exactly like the official bank web site, and they will enter their id and password. The fake website will record the information. This allows the criminal to use the ID and password to transfer money out of the account into their own accounts.
The crime is very hard to track and presecute. I'm sure your bank has a page or two regarding these problems and suggestions for making sure you do not become a victim of the crime.

Why is it that your Facebook messages in your email are in spam?
Facebook automatically generates email and send you many messages. Especially if you never open them, your email system might assuem they are coming from a source that did not have your permission to send you email. You can allow the Facebook messages into your inbox by chaning the settings of your email account.
Why are domain names more useful to businesses than fixed IP addresses?
If all websites relied on solely their IP addresses, most people would likely forget them somewhere between hearing about the website and actually getting around to viewing it. By utilizing words and not just numbers, people are far more likely to remember website and actually visit them when they need/want to. As well, if people want to look into a business, they can easily just type some version of their name into a web browser rather than waste time attempting to discover their IP address.
Can I get my money back from a Chinese internet scam?
It is doubtful, but possible. If you used a bank transfer, there's a chance the account can be frozen. If you used untracable payment methods though like Western Union, there's practically no chance of even identifying the scammer, let alone recovering funds.
No, it is the email system. It is usually sending you email that has been returned to sender due to an incorrect TO: address.
Don't know the answer, but I have the same problem. I found an e-mail in my junk file. I don't remember the sender's name, but the subject was (sender) wants you to go to NakedFunRoom. I had my e-mail tag it as Phishing scam. When I go to forward e-mail I see NakedFunRoom on my contact list at the bottom, but if I just open my contact list it doesn't show up.
I would appreciate it if someone out there could help me get rid of this.
How do you determine origin af an Email?
The From: and To: parts of an email message are whatever a sender wants them to be. Especially if they are not using a standard email program.
A received email includes header information detailing its origin and the path the message took to reach you. You can access this information from many email readers. For example:
- In Yahoo mail, click on More and select View Raw Message.
- In Gmail at the right of the reply button, click the down triangle and select show original.
- In Thunderbird, choose View > Headers > All
- In Microsoft outlook, find the Properties or Option, Show Options or Message Options and Header information appears in the Internet headers box. Unfortunately Different releases of Outlook do things differently.
Every mail reader has its own way of doing things. Try Searching with "How to Get Email Headers" for specifics. As of May, 2017, mxtoolbox.com has a nice list covering many mail readers.
The email message headers have information mostly provided by the email system. Of interest are the lines starting with "Received: by " and "Received: from " . They describe the origin and the path taken by the message to reach you. The first one usually connects to the original sender where the message first came from. The last one is normally the mail server from where you received the message.
Use gmail. when you give out you email address anywhere just put +---
ex.
Giving your email to amazon.com:
email+amazon@gmail.com
then if you get an email whatever is after the plus is where the email came from

I've found that typically, unsubscribing from spam is actually a red flag that says "Yes, I do read spam! Please send me a lot more!"
Should you click on the 'remove me' links in spam?
There is some controversy about this. Most legitimate e-mail newsletters and many semi-legitimate e-mail marketers have "remove me" links that do exactly what they purport to do: remove you from their e-mail list or database. However, these links have been used for the opposite purpose. In the opinion of Ken Hollis of the alt.spam FAQ: "NEVER reply to the 'Remove Me' e-mail addresses or sites. This only confirms that you have a live e-mail address and makes *your* e-mail address more valuable to sell to other spammers."
Is Mytvshowdvdscom a fake site?
Information about a domain name is easily obtainable. If the site has no physical address or telephone number posted then try to find one. If there is a telephone number contact them if you are unsure. In addition see when the domain was registered and possibly renewed.There are also tools to look up the names of directors of companies and history.
I would have to say yes. But it depends weather you ask them or not. If you ask them and they say yes, give them a little bit, and is they never do, you probably can. But I wouldn't recommend it with higher up e-mail servers like Yahoo(www.yahoo.com), G-Mail(www.google.com and type in 'g-mail'", etc.
No. For the most part, federal law protects internet services providers from liability arising from the actions of its users. If an AOL user publishes a defamatory message, AOL is not responsible for that person's actions.
