bvoip TIP: Be Careful of Spoofed Voicemail-to-Email Messages

Written by George Bardissi | Dec 3, 2018 9:20:22 PM

Spoofed emails are not new. It's all about another angle to trick a human being to open up a message that otherwise looks normal. Voicemail-to-email messages are no exception!

In this message it's clear that everything is wrong:

  • From email address missing
  • To email address wrong
  • Crazy Subject Line
  • Actual full .eml attachment not a .wav or .mp3 file

The point being is that an end user would simply see voicemail and click to open the message attachment. 

Please educate your customers on this scenario.
