Today, I'm going to talk about very important issue it's how to detect fake
E-mails, today hackers have various ways to steal your private data and hack
your computer, So today i will explain how to detect fake emails and avoid
them.
Fake E-mails are those which seems to be coming from a real E-mail address
but they are sent from fake E-mail sender and this can be done easily using
any tool available online, which asks for the the name and the E-mail of the
sender which could be any thing like Google, Facebook, Twitter....etc.
These E-mails can be harmful as it some time asks you for your banking
username or passwords so we will have an example to explain on it,
As we see we have a Fake E-mail sent be Mark zuckerberg to identify it just
click on the down arrow next to "to me", you will see this drop down menu:-
This drop down contains some information, if the E-mail sent from trusted
source you will see another two fields "Mailed By", "Signed By" like this:-
These fields can be found in E-mails which is sent from big companies like
Google,Facebook, Twitter...etc, but there is alot of companies which doesn't
have their own server so they use Gmail as their own hosting servers.
Now we will see the header of the E-mail to see it click on the arrow on the
right side of Reply Icon it looks like that
Search for "Received: From" in this page, if there are more than one, go for
the last one and see the domain.
It shows "emkei.cz" in the Fake E-mail sent by me, Now go to the
site "emkei.cz" and know that the domain belongs fake mail sender site.
To trace the location of E-mail sendsr
To the IP address of the sender in the E-mail header search for "X-
Originating- IP" and you will get the IP address of the sender, if you get it
you can use any IP online tracer like whats is my IP address.
Note:-If the E-mail is sent from Gmail using Gmail web, you will never get
the original IP address. some other E-mail severs may be the fake ones don't
Reveal the IP address of the sender in the E-mail header.
