BOOTS Gift Card Spam Emails

If you are asked to complete the "BOOTS Survey" below, please do not participate in it, because it is a trick to get online users to purchase products, services, complete questionnaires or surveys, by pretending to offer them free rewards which are actual advertisements. The fake survey or invitation is not associated with BOOTS' and the website that displays the survey will receive compensation for the products or services that they have tricked online users into purchasing. Therefore, online users are asked to delete emails that they have received asking them to take the same BOOTS' survey below, because they will not receive the free products or services they have been promised.

Advertisements - Continue reading below

The main purpose of the fake survey is to make online users think they will get a reward for taking it, but the rewards shown at the end of the survey are advertisements that the people who have created the survey will get paid for, once the online users purchase the products or services that are being advertised.

I have started to report emails to your listed address as of now, I get a massive amount of emails purporting to be from Asda,mosrrisons,lidl,aldi, amazon.etc.etc
All domains are hosted by namesilo.com their support initially asked for details, then when I did give them all of the details I get anywhere between 5- 20 emails per day, finally they dismissed them as being "spoofed " and not from them; funny when it is hosted by them down to their own name servers for routing of the emails .
I am sure after I reported each and every email to abuse reporting email address I keep getting even more.
Any advice on how to escalate this hosting provider to ICANN and other would be most welcome?
thanks

It would help if you showed the address these e mails come from. I have received a couple from boots@email.boots.com that sound like similar fraudulent e mails. Can you confirm that this isn't a genuine Boots email address please?

We will do that, but remember, email addresses can be spoofed. This means you cannot rely on an email address to determine if the email is fake or not.
You will have to look at the email headers to do, which is a little tech savvy.
I can send an email to you and make it appear as if it came from the president by spoofing the email address.
So, send us the email you have received so we can check the headers.
For more information about email spoofing, search for it using our Search engine at the top of the page.
