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 |

However my old link https://www.todo-backup.com/ is now redirected to the above site. |

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

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. Fokke |
