A lot of persons have been receiving spam e-mails with links to fake websites created to look like popular news websites Fox News and ABC News. The websites seem to be promoting and selling the weight loss product, "Raspberry Ultra Drops." I do not know much about the product, but I do know that the websites are fakes and DO NOT recommend purchasing anything from them. It seems that "Raspberry Ultra Drops" is in demand and scammers are setting up fake websites claiming to sell the product in order to steal their victims’ credit card and personal information.

  It seems that the messages are being sent from a cloned Facebook account of yours. Cybercriminals clone Facebook users accounts and sent friend requests to their friends. Cybercriminals clone Facebook accounts by copying Facebook users' profile pictures and names.
  
  The friends of the owners of the cloned Facebook accounts will accept the friends requests, because they will think that the requests came from their friends, because the accounts that sent the requests have their friends' pictures and names.
  
  Tell your friends to send message to the accounts that are sending them the messages, asking the owner of the account questions only you would know. If the owner of the account sending the message is unable to answer the questions, they should unfriend the account.

I just checked on my recent log in activity for my email account and found that someone from India had logged into my account and sent out these spam emails from my address! So definitely change your passwords and update your security for your own sake.

The only thing you can do now is to set the e-mail message as Junk or Spam.

My mom had this sent to all her contacts and she doesn't even use that email except for work! If you are a company that is doing this no one is stupid enough to buy your products anyway so just stop.

Tell your friend to scan his/her computer for malwares. Try Spybot Search and Destroy. It is also possible that the e-mail was not sent from him/her but, was spoofed. Email spoofing is a technique used to change the "From" address of an email, to make it appear as if it came from someone else.

My computer has been sending out these bogus emailed links for several weeks now. I have tried Lavasoft Ad-Aware, Super AntiSpyware, McAffee Total Protection and the latest Windows Defender. Nothing has located or stopped this sucker. If anyone knows of a product or method that will get rid of this, I would very much appreciate hearing about it.

I checked an email address that I rarely use. Apparently an email was sent out to all of my contacts a link to 12fox-news.com for this Raspberry Ultra stuff. Most of my unread email in that account was Delivery Failure for this. Fortunately, most of those contacts are disable accounts. The link were definitely suspicious.

Currently, it is impossible to stop persons from sending you spam e-mails. As one spam server it taken down, another replaces it.
