In its first month online, SpivO Mail, the free email service onthe SpivO.com network, encountered a minor glitch. Over the last month, SpivO sfraudulent users have been kept at bay thanks to SpivO s obsessive account behaviormonitoring and their system for detecting fraudulent emails. More prevalent thanspam, fraud emails are considered a greater threat on the network because they areattempts to defraud people out of money.
The most common scam is the promising of a large sum of money do to a foreigndiplomats death, an offshore lottery, or other difficult to trace scenario. Whilemost online users are aware that such sums of money will not be offered to them byemail, the con artist still defraud millions of Americans out of thousands ofdollars because of this scam.
SpivO was prepared to deal with such users by implementing a security scan that runsall day on the server seeking mailing behavior similar to the scammers and spammers.The system finds users with an accuracy rate of 99.8%. Upon detection, the user s IPaddress is banned and their account is deleted. SpivO Mail now goes a step furtherby emailing all of the scam recipients to let them know about the scam and revealsthe IP address of the user to include in their IP blocking compatible spam filter.This process often times takes place just ten minutes after the first scam email issent. Information that SpivO Mail now proudly displays on their home page.
Over the weekend, SpivO Mail encountered another type of unwanted user which theycall a leach. Leaches generally register multiple accounts to store [what is often]hacked movies and software, a practice SpivO Mail has a zero tolerance for. Theexcessive data transfer from non compliant users slows down the SpivO Mail servicefor those users whom use the 1GB email account for business and personal use.
Vice President, Jason Bland, of SpivO s managing company, Adviatech Corp., wasactively involved with the clean up effort over the weekend. What is most importantto us is that we are providing a simple, efficient, email service for all of ourcompliant accounts. When we confirm a red flag, I want that user banned, deleted,and our database wiped clean of their existence. They don t further our cause at alland are simply not welcome to use our service.
SpivO Mails fraud detection system allows them to scan behavior without compromisingthe privacy of their compliant users. While SpivO Mail expects this to be acontinuing battle, Jack Thomas of SpivO explains, This system of ours is extremelyefficient. And when someone wants to spend hours emailing themselves one to fivegigabytes of information, they are simply wasting their time. We delete theseaccounts immediately upon confirming their activity. Honestly, it costs us the sameamount of money to fight twenty fraudulent users a day as it does to fight athousand negative accounts each day so while the problem might grow as ourpopularity increases, we are ready.
