Hi Kanga,
No, it's coming direct from refuge.orisson@wanadoo.fr to me and what looks like hundreds of others in the to: address line.
Thought others who have communicated with Orisson over the years might be recieving the same.
Different "spammish" looking links each day.

Most spam has nothing to do with the address shown in the email. All that means is that someone who had Orisson in their address book had their address book harvested and the spammers are spoofing the orisson address. I bet that if you look at the long headers on the message you will see the origin has nothing to do with them.

I am getting them too, about one a day, all the email addresses beginning with "j". I just delete them. Jill

I run a programme called 'Mailwasher' on my computer, it reads all the e-mails headers before I get them in my mailbox. In addition to being able to mark 'friends' or 'blacklist' for quick sorting it also has a tab to read the e-mail source. It is then easy to see if the sender name has been 'spoofed', and also where the e-mail has really come from.

Maybe some-one needs to let Orisson know that their account is compromised, there is a lot of this type of spam around this last week or so and some of it has nasty links too.

Nothing from them directed my way. I'm sure the folks up at Orisson are much too busy to be spamming anybody. Nor would they be so inclined anyway. They're good people.
If you're getting lots you could try blocking it and see if that works.

I got some spam from the Orisson folks. I thought it must have been that their email contacts were hacked.

Hi,
same here, one mail per day with spam from the Orisson address.
I think they've been hacked or something like that.

cu,

I have received 2 email spams with 1 url included in each over 2 days. Very annoying as I was trying to book a bed there in a couple of weeks.
One of the url:s had a .ru extension presumably pointing to a Russian web site. I would assume that it is not a good idea to click on it.
Now, what to do with getting a booking there?

 

[pudgypilgrim]

hcarlen, just email them. If their address has been harvested (and it might have been gotten by bots from this site, you know) it's nothing to do with Orisson itself.

it's nothing to do with Orisson itself.

Orisson needs to clean its computer if it has been "botted" though. It will continue to send the span until it is cleaned.

Likewise receiving these messages, a cursory scan of the meta information does lead me to believe that it is a spoofed return address. Still, they should do a scan of their gear for safety.

oh dear; I just gave their email address on this thread. I do hope it has been no cause for harm….

I agree with Cecelia, the Orissen folks are far to busy spoiling the tired peregrinos. It would be wise to let them know and maybe give advice. We have just been there and what an experience!! Wonderful hospitality.

Hi Irma, I stayed there last April and I enjoyd every minute there. Wish you happy trails, Peter .

I had 2 spam emails from the Orisson address early the week but deleted them immediately and haven't had any since. I had emailed Orisson directly to organise accommodation in January this year.

 

[Andrea Mayfield]

Yup! I've been receiving the same spam mail.......and deleting it daily. I reserved my bed via email and stayed at Orisson on May 30 of this year.

 

[Tia Valeria]

If no -one advises Orisson direct of this problem then they cannot check their system, or contact their ISP. It really needs one of those receiving the spam and preferably who has read the data header to give the info. The problem is likely to continue until it is reported and dealt with by the ISP etc. There is a lot of nasty spam around, I am getting some from a member of a friend whose account has been hacked, but can identify which is genuine and which is spoofed.Can't help with Orisson as we have never stayed or e-mailed there.
Be vigilant!

I called Orission this am they said their computer was down. I tried twice to reserve a bed online and never received a response, this was about 4 days ago and 2 weeks ago. Maybe they know there is a problem now.
