So how did you get a spam message appearing to be from someone @wtrfrd.com?

Unethical businesses send out messages with forged return addresses that appear to have been sent by innocent third parties. It's unfortunately fairly easy to do this — see this Federal Trade Commission (FTC) report. Both the message recipient and the domain that has been forged are victimized — in this case you and us.

There is something you can do to help fight online spam: forward a complete copy of any unsolicited commercial email you receive to spam@uce.gov. See the FTC report, "You’ve Got Spam: How to "Can" Unwanted Email," for more information.

Thank you for your understanding and our apology for any inconvenience you may have experienced
