Every Month I get an email from no-reply@vodaphone in my gmail account. The account is <firstname.lastname@gmail.com>. Neither name is particularly common, but there was a 'fashion' for the first name around the time I was born. I knew of 6 people in this city with my first & last names in the 1970s. The city only had a million or so at the time.

I never had an account with vodaphone, a poor mobile carrier IMO. I can't find a live email for vodaphone.ie to return it to.

Can someone with White/Grey/Black Hat capabilities find me a few live email addresses in vodafone.ie, please so I can start returning them? I'm pretty sure someone entered his gmail address wrong.

Go to:

https://n.vodafone.ie/support.html

Enter your email and click on: "I forgot my password"

It will email you instructions. After you login, change the email address to hillary@crowdstrike_server.ukraine, or whatever your favorite fake email address is. Problem solved.

Look in the headers for an unsubscribe link.
Report the email to the sending ISP as spam., which it may well be.

I second the suggestion to look at the email headers.

You may find that the visible "from" is spoofed and the email is actually from some entirely different ip address.

I tried that. It then requests the phone number, which I don't have.

They don't have an unsubscribe link, it's not promotional email. I did find a postmaster address and sent one off there. Let's hope.

I bet it's got nothing to do with Vodafone. It's just a scammer hoping to get money out of you.

Reporting UCE:

1. Get the IP address of the last (topmost) Received: header
2. whois that IP -- get an abuse address
3. send the entire email including headers to that abuse address -- often abuse@; seldom postmaster@

That last step can be a bit tricky. If using a GUI client, one usually has to "view source" and copy-paste from there. We do it with a perl script that reads the file (Maildir file) on disk and writes to the email being created.

Send the email to Vodafone customer support but expect, as mentioned above, it may be just spam.

I'd stop no reply emails with a gmail filter word.

I bet "Vodaphone" or " vodaphone" would cure that rickey tick.

Forwarding them < the phones >. I would not bother.
Neither the emails either.

Hardly. It's been going for years, but I just deleted them, slightly pissed off. It's some guys bill, they email him he's going to be late, but his bank order comes through.
I'll probably go that road. No white/black hat types here - all clean stuff.

Bah! I can't mark a thread in General Solved. This might go on forever.

Maybe you could edit the original post in "Go Advanced" and put the word "Solved" in the Subject line.
