"MSI International" sent a survey requests that meets SPAM criteria: e-mail sent Friday at 4:16 PM - wrong time, wrong media "chance to win 1 of 4 Nintendo Wii consoles." - surveys like Arbitron, have a fixed fee system, not a lottery, and they send a postal mail survey form. Online forms are nonsense. multiple "MSI International" web sites, different companies "online survey hosted on MSI’s secure website" - but it is not an "https" URL MAILTO link has subject "Audio Entertainment Systems Survey" E-mail SPAM, cleverly done, but SPAM none the less. The source e-mail address for SPAM filters: feedbacktoyota @ msimsi.com Weird, they make a lot of claims that this is a Toyota sponsored survey ... If so, Toyota needs to find someone else.

Do you use [email protected] email addresses to find out how they got your email address? Just wondering because that's what I do. If I see a spam sent to [email protected] I know not to do business with that site again and block that address. My spam has been down to only a few per year and most of them get through my reply address because of peoples insecure bot infested computers.
Not to be confused with MSI, a Taiwan/China computer manufacturer. I have one if their sub-kilo notebooks and really like it. Ad ends, back to spam-watching
It works IF you have a domain with email and set up the email to allow anything with @yourdomain to get through and routed to a valid account for you to look at later. When you do business on a website, or sign upfor something online and they ask you for an email address, you enter theirwebsitename@yourdomain. If they use the list to sell to others or spam you, you'll know the source was that website.
