I was asked a Question by a Friend Paras as to whether Someone can send an sms as someone else’s number. I dont know how cell phone works but its possible to send emails as anyone..
I am posting my COnversation so you the Visitor can get help if needed.

Parash (Sent at 12:42 PM on Tuesday): can someone send sms to other using other person’s mobile no. how ?

me: I am not sure for mobile phones..
but its possible to do so in emails
Parash: yes
how it happens
& what are the tips to save our accounts

me: You can’t do anything abt it..

You can at most do the followings
1) Avoid publishing your email addresses in teh internet.
2) use a Striong Spam/junk mails/phishing mails filters
3) Also make it a point that you dont open mails which you suspect of falling into above mentioned criteria.
By doing so you will prevent the sender to confirm that your email address does indeed exist..

3) Help improve the database of spam filters by reporting and confirming that these mails fall into this criteria.
Parash: hmm
right
thanks

    What can you do to prevent someone else from reading your GMail or Yahoo Mail ?


    Rob's method works when you are using the HTTP mode to access your email (http://www.gmail.com/). Therefore the trick is to always use Secure Login.



    Here's what you can do to safeguard your email in public wi-fi hotspots - use https:// instead of http:// - the entire session will be encrypted and the cloning cookies method will fail:



    For GMail: https://mail.google.com/mail/
