Sales calls and spam after ordering from pharmacies

If anybody wants to PM me full headers from one of these E-mails, I'd be mildly curious to see whether they're originating from where they're purported to be.

When I asked why they were contacting me, they said I'd once ordered some baclofen.

It is now well over 2 years since I purchased baclofen, or used any online pharmacy.

I am however still receiving daily spam emails(which started shortly after I placed my first order) claiming to be following up previous orders/would I like to reorder and the email addresses change so I can't block them. These had died off a little last year and I thought they'd given up but for no reason at all it started again in the last 6 months, they cite my delivery name and address every time.

Anyone else had this?

I think I ordered from Goldpharma and perhaps another.

Not very happy to be receiving calls to my personal mobile/emails to a longterm email address like this and think some people really would find it indiscrete.

I get these almost daily. It appears to be from a Canadian pharmacy and every email is from a different name so it is pointless reporting it as spam. I don't recall ordering on line since 4 years ago. I opened one of the emails and there is a box to unsubscribe which worked for a while then they started again...so I left the country. But I still get them!

My emails also come from many different individuals - but the content is usually the same or similar. Many email providers (gmail, for instance) let you create spam filters that trash junk mail when they are found to contain a certain phrase like: "[A RxRefill]". You may have to add a new filter when the wording in the spam is updated every few weeks, but I've been able to prevent about 95% of it from coming to my inbox.

Also, you may not have actually had to place an order from 4rx.com - if i remember correctly, the site made you create an account to order (whether you did or not they got your info). I believe this is the case because I get the same spam addressed to different iterations of my name (an obvious spelling mistake, and also a fake name I used at first because I was sketched out at the whole business - go figure).

Here is the email address of one of my emails. Thomas Garcia


It comes as a Refill Notice. I am afraid to open it in case it unleashes some virus.

They don't, they are simply after you placing an order.

The header is the expanded 'email address' - email addresses are just names, and many can be created from one location. By expanding the 'address' you obtain a code which can identify a 'source' of the email. There's usually an option to do this on somewhere on most email accounts.

I know it not much help but went ordering online. I use a pp credit card. With a friends address... email and fake phone number. I have multiply emails for complicities I don't trust,
At the the need of the day.. I'm broke. They can try and fleece me al day long.

I do get were the OP is coming from thought. I've been knowing to change email 4-5 times a year. I get very little email its part of my part of my job. Bit like cell phones. I can live within wit reason. A 3 mile radius of 99% of friends I now.

Face to face conversation is golden.

When I say "full headers," I mean everything that's really above the message body. It should look something like this:
