DeadFake: Prank Your Friends with Fake Email Messages

By kaly on Dec. 9th, 2008

DeadFake is a fake email service (an online prank tool) that makes it easy to prank your friends by sending fake email messages to them. The idea behind the service is to make the email look like it is coming from someone else (say paris@hitlon.com, g.w.bush@whitehouse.gov etc).

From the page:

“Deadfake – a site that lets you send free fake emails to anyone you like.  Not only is it anonymous, you can make it appear to come from anyone you choose! Fancy winding up your mates? Your boss? Or anyone at all?”

While there is a funny side to it, DeadFake can also be used by spamer or worse for sending phishing emails. Thus, make sure to always check the headers in suspicious emails. The legit email will always have the “from” email address in the “Sender” field.

Features:

  • Send fake emails.
  • No registration needed.
  • To learn more about how it works go here.
  • Not to be used for spamming or other malicious purpose.

Come on guys are you serious? I don’t see the funny side of this at all. Surely everyone is in favour of less spam and junk email and this just isn’t going to help. Just checking, no it isn’t even April Fools Day.
