Desperate liberal-left apparently engaging in outright FRAUD now; Don’t worry, not a “GAFFE”

(UPDATED – 9:50 PM PDT – below)

I got this email this morning, which is fraudulently disguised to appear as though it’s just another one of the news media emails I get from the Prime Minister’s Office on a daily (or more) basis.  It it even fraudulently made to appear as though it came from the Prime Minister’s email address itself (when you click “properties” over the “from” field).   

Inside job?  I doubt it but I understand the question inasmuch as the federal bureaucracy is stuffed from top to bottom with liberals and leftists who hate conservatives and Conservatives.  I have the email header information which I’ll take a closer look at later on today.  It is all fraudulently disguised to appear as an actual PMO email.  This took a little skill.

Bizarrely, the link leads to the Conservatives’ own web site ridiculing Dion’s huge carbon tax plan.  So there’s skill but also complete stupidity involved here.

Anyway, for comparison, here is how emails from the PMO typically arrive:

But don’t worry, as you will easily be able to ascertain from the liberal-left’s compliant media division,  this is not a liberal-left “GAFFE”.  It’s “politics”  Just another day… 

UPDATE 5:38 PM PDT
I’ve now received another one, which fraudulently claims to come from “[email protected]”.  It raises questions about Quebec sovereignty,  makes statements about the importance of Canada obeying the United Nations and such, and contains a link to a Kosovo web site. 

Still looking into this. 

On the original one, one of the “Received” statements deep in the email’s header information contains an IP address which links to the Privy Council Office, another one to a “black hole”, and another to a Toronto-based cable internet access point. 

Examples:

UPDATE 5:56 PM PDT:
Got an email from our CBC.ca-commenting friend, “RedCanada” (golly—you think he’s a communist?) who, after reading this blight on liberal-leftism that I’m exposing here, wrote in this blog entry’s comments (his will not be approved) that I should “Get sense of humor you lame duck conservative crackpot.” 

But I already have a sense of humor.  So that was a bit of a waste of my time… and I’ll go ahead and carry on as I was, thanks…

UPDATE 6:08 PM PDT
The second email (with the Kosovo reference) has slightly different markings.  Some of the “Received” lines indicates this (I blanked out the actual name of the web site with XXXX so as not to encourage the nutroots like RedCanada….):

The site “XXXX.com” is a web site which purports to let 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? Then head on over to the sending page and get sending!”. 

So it seems the PMO’s email list has been hacked and is now being used by the liberal-left moonbats and nutroots, who are sending their little notes out using that service and others—possibly through the PMO’s own computers.  Who exactly is doing this? 

UPDATE-ette
Looking deeper, the Kosovo email appears to have come from an IP address (89.172.23.251) originating in Croatia. 

But that could be fake too.  Who knows. 

UPDATE 9:50 PM PDT

I advised the PMO and I’m sure others did as well.  And here is a partial result:  Now under investigation.
