Default Is easeus a scam site?

Hi All,

I have started getting an unsolicited newsletter from

EaseUS

I have left the images off and not responded to anything.

The article "seem" to be of interest to anyone maintaining
Windows systems. But ...

Do any of you use this site and/or know if they are
legitimate or a scam?

Many thanks,
-T

They do make a reasonably good backup software.
https://www.easeus.com/backup-software/
So www.easeus.com is a proper domain.
However my old link https://www.todo-backup.com/ is now redirected to
the above site.

Did you "register" while downloading their backup software ? :-/

We know you were testing backup software, so that's
a distinct possibility.

Think back.

One, if you ever registered for anything from Easeus then, yes, they
WILL spam you. They also do not honor their unsubscribe process.

Two, the e-mails do NOT originate from the easeus.com domain (look at
the Received headers to track the actual source). The hyperlinks in the
e-mail do NOT point at the easeus.com domain or any domain assigned to
them. They are employing a bulk mailing service to send out their spam.
Instead of granting the bulk mailer access to the easeus.com domain and
sending the spam through that domain and with links pointing at their
easeus.com domain, the spam is NOT from Easeus but from their contracted
bulk mailing provider.

It is not a scam but it is spam. The e-mails do not originate from
Easeus, the hyperlinks do not point at Easeus, they use a bulk mailer
but do not grant use of Easeus' domain, and the unsubscribe link also
points the bulk mailer and not to Easeus. Report their e-mails as spam
to both your ISP and to the DNSBLs (DNS blocklists; e.g., Spamcop). If
your ISP or whomever is your e-mail provider doesn't let you flag
e-mails as spam (other than moving them into the Junk/Spam folder which
may not actually report that e-mail as spam) then see if you can report
it as a phish mail. Hotmail won't let me flag an e-mail as spam (that
just moves it in the Junk folder) but they will let me report it as a
phish. Since the e-mail purports to be from Easeus but doesn't come
from there and the hyperlinks don't point there then, yep, it is a phish
mail because the sender lied as to their identity.

Why not define a server-side filter in your account so their spams get
discarded up on the server and your local client never has to bother
handling them? I have a "Delete - Blacklisted Sender" rule that looks
for "Sender address includes" for many senders that don't obey the
unsubscribe request. For Easeus non-terminating spam (newsletter), even
after you discontinued using their products, filter on
". Add more conditions in that rule to add more
senders that don't honor an unsubscribe request.

Easeus are very rude regarding their spamming. They (or their
contracted bulk mailer) do not honor an unsubscribe request. That in
itself relegates all further e-mails from them as spam. Their spam does
not originate from Easeus and the hyperlinks do not point at Easeus
which, to me, means it is a phish mail. I don't care that Easeus chose
to contract someone else to send their spam. When I've seen that
happen, I inform the sender they should be granting access to that
company's SMTP server so the bulk mailings originate from the company's
domain, not from someone the contracted to puke out all that crap.
Because the e-mail does not originate from Easeus and links don't point
to Easeus, I report their e-mails as phish.

If they don't unsubscribe me, I will just filter them to spam.

That's the nasty bit of most companies. They all want your e-mail
address and keep bothering you with bargains and special offers.
Unsuscribe is the only remedy.

That's why I have four email addresses. One only for family and friends.
One for general public, eg, volunteer groups, casual acquaintances, etc.
One for business. And one just for on-line transactions.

Best,



That's a good point. I used to have an e-mail address for on-line
transactions as well, my gmailaddress. Until I stopped using that at all.
Now I use my address for everything.
I have mailwasher installed and it's a blessing. I have blacklisted many
addresses, and one push on a button and they're gone.
And I can read the links, and see what are spam and falsification mails,
and what is real.
