Spoof Mail

Spoof Mail, a type of email fraud, is email which appears to come from one source but is actually sent by another. It is often associated with spoof websites which mimic an actual, well-known website but are run by another party - usually with fraudulent intentions. Sometimes, Spoof Mail is a php-based script, which lets one send e-mail from any e-mail address one would like.
