As more and more communication and transactions are taking place online, phishing schemes and other attempts to steal sensitive personal information have become increasingly prevalent and innovative.

SMPINFO.com's advanced email fraud protection program effectively protects you from phishing schemes by detecting and intercepting phishing schemes and other fraudulent Email messages before they reach your inbox. SMPINFO.com detects email phishing schemes by examining the links embedded in incoming email messages. If a link appears to be pointing to legitimate site, but in fact leads to a fraudulent destination; the message will be considered fraudulent and thus intercepted.

A phishing scheme typically consists of an Email message that appears to originate from a trusted source, but in fact is an attempt to obtain and exploit sensitive user information, such as login credentials for the targeted user's online bank account. The email message likely will contain a link that appears to lead to an authorized Web Site that belongs to a legitimate, trusted company. The idea is to make the email user take the bait by clicking the link and providing the requested data to the fraudulent party, which will then attempt to exploit the obtained information.

As a SMPINFO.com email user, you will not actually notice the fraud-protection technology in action, as it operates behind the scenes. However, the advanced technology will have an instant impact on your Email account as much fewer – if any – fraudulent Email messages will appear in your inbox.

What is a catch-all email account?

A catch-all email account is an email address that is specified to receive all email that is addressed to an incorrect email address for a domain. For example, if you have three email addresses set up for a-domain.com:

info@a-domain.com
sales@a-domain.com
webmaster@a-domain.com

And you set up info@a-domain.com as a catch-all email account, any email messages sent to manager@a-domain.com (an invalid email address), are sent to the catch-all account (info@a-domain.com).

You can set up one email address as a catch-all account per domain name.
