Op-Ed by Catherine J. Frompovich

Please consider this a public service announcement, which Internet email providers will not inform you about because, in my opinion, what goes on, on their platforms enhances their bottom lines for Internet traffic and for which they invariably receive monetary rewards.

Daily, I receive over a hundred email spams, scams and downright fraudulent solicitations, which I NEVER click on, but do investigate to see where or how they originate and, for many, they come from Microsoft’s Non-reply Account, which should be illegal, and which Internet email providers must do something to correct and stop enabling scam artists to ply their ‘trade’, in my opinion.

Here are a few examples.

Viva Loan – Loan Department [email protected] / [email protected]

CHRISTMAS Cash – $15,000 Deposited in Your Account Next Day. See Details.

This message was identified as SPAM.

BORROW FROM A TRUSTED RESOURCE  was the link at the top provided to ‘catch’ me.

Many such emails, as the one above, arrive in my inbox with a high importance icon [i]

Another spam (scam?) email from

Cannabis Oil [email protected] However, when I block such accounts, they are not blocked!  Why?

Yet, another example from

Amazon Final Notice <amazon.final.notice@inbox.ru, which always comes in the regular ‘not censored’ email box!

How many times must I receive a FINAL notice from Amazon, which probably originates in Russia, hoping I will click on their malicious malware link, regardless of the almost fifty times I’ve “blocked” it?!

It seems blocking invariably doesn’t work!

Readers, be aware!  Be forewarned, as you may get caught up in Internet scams and identity theft memes and attempts, which Internet email providers ‘probably are unconsciously enabling’?.

Numerous junk box emails come from the Microsoft Non-reply account, which indicates an apparent ‘fraud perpetration’ was generated by my very own email address—how cleverly fraudulent on the part of both the sender and which MICROSOFT Outlook/Hotmail may or may not check out or censor!

Here’s just one such Microsoft Non-reply account example:

From: offer <[email protected]> on behalf of Chuck Gains <[email protected]>

Are such senders hoping I automatically will “block” it and consequently block my own email address, thereby blocking emails from coming into my email account?

What an apparent scam and something Microsoft and other Internet email providers should be on the lookout for and self-police, or otherwise be held accountable for, in my opinion, as someone who purchased the Microsoft operating system.

Here’s another example of what I’d say is Internet censorship going on and is not indicative of proper scam artist interventions.

Back on August 23, 2017, the search engine BING (Microsoft-owned) listed Frompovich Activist Post Archives at 26 million 600 thousand results!  The last time I checked Bing for my archive stats, Bing now comes up with only 5 million 920 thousand!  What does that tell you?  Bing/Microsoft can ‘sanitize’ my work on the Internet but not scam artists?  That really doesn’t make sense, but it probably makes good business sense for Internet traffic stats.

I think readers ought to know I receive close to, or over, and between 100 and 200 scam and junk-box emails EVERY day, and MICROSOFT does nothing to police the malicious stuff, but ought to, and be held responsible—plus accountable—for enabling Internet scammers, in my opinion.

How many readers have experienced similar Internet security challenges and/or scams to your emails?

What do you think should be done about “how to create no reply addresses in office 365,” which apparently, and inadvertently, enables fraudulent Internet activity?
