I am attempting to read an email that I requested from a sender who I have added to my contact list and also have added to the approved sender list in my Outlook.com account but when I open the email I have a statement from Outlook.com that simply says "Be careful! This sender failed our fraud detection checks."  How do I bypass this? 

 

By the way, I tried chatting with someone named Lisa with the chat line and she was absolutely useless and could not understand what I was asking when I typed the exact same statement as above.

 

Thank you!

This issue is happening again.

I keep getting the "Be careful! This sender has failed our fraud detection checks." message for legit emails from companies I know and trust.

Please investigate this issue as it has been a problem for over a year now and many others are affected.


Started getting the dreaded "Be Careful! This sender has failed our fraud detection checks" from an email address that has never been an issue previously. Now when I am sending a reply to this email address I keep getting emails saying that the email has been delayed and it is not being received at the other end. This is really frustrating as I am in the middle of relocating and this email is potentially regarding a job!!!! What the **** is going on and why have MS suddenly decided i can't reply to this email address, its a British airline company, what fraud risk is there from a well known reputuable airline!!!!!

Simple Query:-

 

How can you declare a user TRUSTWORTHY to avoid the "Be careful! This sender failed our fraud detection checks." message?

 

I have added the Company to my Safe list, but still see the message,

 

I neither OWN the Company responsible, NOR do I have any say whatsoever over what they do, I cannot tell them to change anything,

so telling me to contact them and ask them to get some DNS setting changed by their ISP is pointless,

 

Getting the message "be careful" is extremely annoying, I want to be able to turn off the Warning for the sender.

 

as an aside, seeing these warning messages pointlessly means the user becomes accustomed to the warning being Pointless, and the user is far more likely to simply ignore the warning for all future senders. The warning thus becomes Counter Productive.

 

Thanks,

Ray

We are getting this message whenever we receive emails from @arayna.com addresses. We know this email address isn't fraudulant because we own it and use it for our piano teaching business. A SPF on this domains email was set up months ago but this has made no difference. The SPF was set up to combat a problem we had with "Viagra" emails being sent with our domain name - a common practice as I'm sure you are aware, and one which is totally out of our control. This has now stopped and the spammers presumably have moved on to some other unsuspecting victim.

 

SPF, to my understanding, works by compairing the senders address with the return address. We are sending emails from our own @arayna domain address to our ll346lp@hotmail account, so in this case we know that the addresses are the same. I fail to see how SPF would prevent the problem we are getting as it is intended to reject emails with differing addresses.

 

If any prospective clients email us for rates etc... and our reply to them is met with your "Be careful! This sender has failed our fraud detection checks." it could not only damage our reputation with them, but they could then go on to tell others. The use of the word "Fraud" is quite emotive, especially as you have never contacted us to test the validity of our domain, and we feel that your message in this instance could be held as libel.

 

As you can see, we are very angry that your system is branding our domain as such, and would be most greatful if things can be put right as soon as possible.

Attention, this is the final warning you are going to receive from me do you get me?

I hope youre understand how many times this message has been sent to you?.

We have warned you so many times and you have decided to ignore our e-mails or because you believe we have not been instructed to get you arrested, and today if you
fail to respond back to us with the payment then, we would first send a letter to the mayor of the city where you reside and direct them to close your bank account
until you have been jailed and all your properties will be confiscated by the fbi. We would also send a letter to the company/agency that you are working for so that
they could get you fired until we are through with our investigations because a suspect is not suppose to be working for the government or any private organization.

Your id which we have in our database been sent to all the crimes agencies in America for them to inset you in their website as an internet fraudsters and to warn
people from having any deals with you. This would have been solved all this while if you had gotten the certificate signed, endorsed and stamped as you where
instructed in the e-mail below.this is the federal bureau of investigation (fbi) am writing in response to the e-mail you sent to us and am using this medium to
inform you that there is no more time left to waste because you have been given from the 3rd of January. As stated earlier to have the document endorsed, signed and stamped without failure and you must adhere to this directives to avoid you blaming yourself at last when we must have arrested and jailed you for life and all your
properties confiscated.

You failed to comply with our directives and that was the reason why we didn't hear from you on the 3rd as our director has already been notified about you get the
process completed yesterday and right now the warrant of arrest has been signed against you and it will be carried out in the next 48hours as strictly signed by the
fbi director. We have investigated and found out that you didn't have any idea when the fraudulent deal was committed with your information's/identity and right now if

you id is placed on our website as a wanted person, i believe you know that it will be a shame to you and your entire family because after then it will be announce in
all the local channels that you are wanted by the fbi. As a good Christian and a honest man, I decided to see how i could be of help to you because i would not be happy to see you end up in jail and all your properties confiscated all because your information's was used to carry out a fraudulent transactions, i called the efcc and they directed me to a private attorney who could help you get the process done and he stated that he will endorse, sign and stamp the document at the sum of $98.00 usd only and i believe this process is cheaper for you.

You need to do everything possible within today and tomorrow to get this process done because our director has called to inform me that the warrant of arrest has been
signed against you and once it has been approved, then the arrest will be carried out, and from our investigations we learnt that you were the person that forwarded
your identity to one impostor/fraudsters in Nigeria when he had a deal with you about the transfer of some illegal funds into your bank account which is valued at the
sum of $10.500,000.00 usd.

I pleaded on your behalf so that this agency could give you till 8/31/2013 so that you could get this process done because i learnt that you were sent several e-mail
without getting a response from you, please bear it in mind that this is the only way that i can be able to help you at this moment or you would have to face the law
and its consequences once it has befall on you. You would make the payment through western union money transfer with the below details.

NAME: UZOUKWU CLETUS
ADDRESS: LAGOS NIGERIA
TEXT QUESTION:FOR
ANSWER: YOU
AMOUNT: $98
Senders name======

Send the payment details to me which are senders name and address, mtcn number, text question and answer used and the amount sent. Make sure that you didn't hesitate
making the payment down to the agency by today so that they could have the certificate endorsed, signed and stamped immediately without any further delay. After all
this process has been carried out, then we would have to proceed to the bank for the transfer of your compensation funds which is valued at the sum of $10.500,000.00
usd which was suppose to have been transferred to you all this while.

Note/ all the crimes agencies have been contacted on this regards and we shall trace and arrest you if you disregard this instructions. You are given a grace today to
make the payment for the document after which your failure to do that will attract a maximum arrest and finally you will be appearing in court for act of terrorism,
money laundering and drug trafficking charges, so be warned not to try any thing funny because you are been watched.


THANKS FOR YOUR CO-OPERATION.

Hello,

I have a custom domain and am using outlook as an email host for this. Whenever I send an email to someone else's address, they receive a 'Be careful! This sender failed our fraud detection checks' at the top of the email. My DNS records were set up using the information required by outlook when I linked the domain with outlook for email hosting. The DNS records include the line TXT v=spf1 include:hotmail.com ~all. Why are my emails still being detected as having 'failed' the fraud detection checks?

Thanks,
Ian.
I just received this message saying that this email has failed our fraud detection test and i clicked on the document and now im very worried is there any steps I should take and can they get hold of my bank details etc
