The Dundee Internet Mailing list servers work exclusively with email.\u00a0 You can personalize your messages by including the list members name along with their email address and use other profile information as needed but the mail is delivered using an email address.<\/p>

Email addresses are normally the basis for online communication, used by almost everyone, everywhere. They are prolific by nature but also disposable, forgotten and changed, inviting fraud and can be vulnerable to attack by unscrupulous individuals.<\/p>

To keep your list of addresses safe Dundee Internet Services, Inc., takes all the maximum measures we can to assure the security of each and every email address in each and every list we host on our servers.\u00a0 Nevertheless email addresses travel outside the realm of our servers as email is a tool that your customers, including yourself probably use every day.<\/p>

Email therefore is indispensable, especially to the digital marketer. This type of marketing has a positive impact on your business when you have a clean list with opted-in list members; becoming the core of your marketing plans and a primary sources of revenue for your company. However this type of marketing as with so many email based programs is subject to email fraud, which when successful may have a negative impact on your business.<\/p>

Depending on how the fraud is perpetuated email fraud can destroy your email marketing programs, with lies and pretense resulting in loss customers as they lose trust in your company, service or product.<\/p>

Email fraud can be caused by:<\/p>

1. Spoofing
2. Phishing
3. SPAM<\/a><\/p>

Spoof email has the appearance of coming from someone when in fact the addresses are forged and the email is actually coming from someone else. \u00a0It only takes a little know how to discover As-Seen-on-ABC@beatmake.win is sent from someone in the Czech Republic and not ABC television. \u00a0Spoofed email comes in with bad intentions; from illegitimate marketers to virus borne attachments using a disguised sending identity to get into an inbox.<\/p>

Customers who receive spoofed email, if they believe it\u2019s from (for example) a company they do business with, will normally trust the message, open it and click on the embedded links and maybe download a virus. \u2013 There goes their trust in future emails from that company.<\/p>

And if your company address is compromised and used to Spoof emails, you might witness an influx of bounce back emails coupled with a low percentage of open rates. Maybe your email address will not be used to spread a virus, but instead, used to send SPAM in your name, resulting in customer unsubscribes.<\/p>

Phishing:\u00a0 An effort to procure sensitive data and credentials for malicious reasons.\u00a0 Such data can include passwords, bank account number, credit card logins, social security numbers and so forth.<\/p>

Phishing is usually accomplished by spoofing an email from a source that would need or have access to sensitive information. These type of emails can be crafted in such a way that there\u2019s little or no doubt it\u2019s really from your bank, IRS or favorite retail store.<\/p>
