English is not my native tongue Best Regards E_Swamp Aka chain May the force be with you Reply from one of the bots here Hello E_SWAMP, Any email sent to you from Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ will originate from the mail domain ‘@email.swtor.com’. This domain should be the only one you see in the ‘sender’ and ‘reply-to’ headers in an email that is genuinely from us. Please also be aware that we will never request your password details or the answers to your Security questions via email. If you receive an email claiming to be from Star Wars: The Old Republic that asks you to provide this kind of information (either replying to the mail or by clicking on a link), please do not reply to the mail and do not follow any hyperlinks in the message. We would ask you to please forward any suspect mails to support@swtor.com so that we can investigate them. Thank you for your help.

DariuszPol Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I got something better. 1. Create gmail account 2. Use aliases like: myEmail+swtorcom@gmail.com myEmail+torhead@gmail.com myEmail+reddit@gmail.com myEmail+myWebsite@gmail.com myEmail+work@gmail.com myEmail+youtube@gmail.com etc... 3. Use emails with aliases to register on websites. All your emails will be received by myEmail@gmail.com but all of the will have aliases. 4. Move ALL EMAILS that have no alias to spam by default (gmail filter). 5. If there will be email like described above - check alias to see who sold database with emails. 6. If you have proper goverment, make a complain. In my country spamer must pay 1200 euro for EVERY spam he send. He must pay that sum on charity or orphant house or something. 7. I do this stuff for 2 years and right now there is 14 orphant houses that got some money thanks to me while I didn't spend even a cent on them. Its around 15000 euro :-) Simple ? Simple! Email with no alias means that someone filter them so you can just delete them by default. Everything else is labeled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
