Occasionally I get e-mails, which at first look, could be real. This one looks very real. That is until I took a closer look at the header.

Funny, that the return address does not have anything to do with Atacor.

And that’s the point. This message is written and set up to give the impression you are actually dealing with some one from Atacor.

Only if you look closer do you see that it is nothing more than a scam message.
