Copy-cat email addresses

We have just had notice linking two new new email address to ours.

 

Our well established email addresses are *** Email address is removed for privacy *** and *** Email address is removed for privacy ***

 

We also have a registered website using a like name.

 

Pepperbox Pedigree Persians has been trading since 1990 and the hotmail email address has been in existence for that time with one only minor change prior to 2000.

 

Someone is attempting to link our email addresses to these addresses pepperbox*@hotmail.com as well as pepperbox*@yahoo.com and this is suspected as a copy-cat address.

 

This type of copy-cat lookalike address should not be permitted and should be removed.

 

It is a poor business practice that cannot manage to weed out this type of copying particularly with a wild card symbol being the permitted change.

 

Outlook and Hotmail need to provide better standards of account management than to permit wildcard additives or duplicate or copycat names to new accounts.
