English term or phrase: email spoofing
Definition from Parliament House, Victoria:
A type of Internet fraud whereby the “header” of an email message is falsified to appear to come from a different sender’s address. This type of criminal activity is commonly used to deliver SPAM email, or for the purposes of fraud.

Example sentence(s):
  • Email spoofing may occur in different forms, but all have a similar result: a user receives email that appears to have originated from one source when it actually was sent from another source. Email spoofing is often an attempt to trick the user into making a damaging statement or releasing sensitive information (such as passwords). Carnegie Mellon University
  • You might receive an email that asks for detailed information on a secret company project which appears to come from your boss, but instead comes from your company's competitor. Many well-known companies are daily victims of email spoofing, either accidently with a virus, or deliberately. DAWN Ontario
  • A lot of modern worms use email spoofing when they send themselves from an infected computer. This spoofing tactic has led to a great deal of finger pointing and confusion among Internet users. Brett M.Christensen

emel perdayaan


Definition from Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka:
Definition:

Emel perdayaan adalah penspaman e-mel yang menggunakan alamat pihak ketiga sebagai alamat penghantar.


It is important to note that several other terms are also commonly seen, as there is no official translation of the term, thus most of the terms used are either direct translations or adoption of the English term.

Example of "emel palsu" (fake email):

Berhati-hati Dengan Emel Palsu Mendakwa Daripada CIMB Clicks.
Source: http://beliamuda.com/2009/12/cimb-click-phishing-email/

Melaporkan aktiviti e-mel palsu kepada LHDNM

LHDNM tidak pernah memohon bayaran cukai atau melantik broker / pemungut cukai asing / mana mana pihak ketiga untuk memungut cukai pendapatan Malaysia melalui e-mel.

Jika anda menerima e-mel yang tidak di alamatkan kepada anda secara tepat dan kemudian meminta anda untuk klik pada pautan , mendedahkan butiran peribadi atau membuat bayaran cukai pendapatan / denda yang mencurigakan , anda mungkin akan terdedah dengan anasir penipuan dari laman palsu.

Example sentence(s):
  • Seorang wanita kerugian RM3,400 selepas menerima satu e-mel palsu menyatakan akaun perbankan Internetnya disekat sebelum pihak yang menghantar e-mel berkenaan memindahkan wang mangsa ke dalam akaunnya. - EHOZA  
  • EMEL PALSU Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri Malaysia (LHDNM) engumumkan bahawa LHDNM tidak pernah mengeluarkan sebarang emel kepada pembayar cukai dengan menggunakan nama Internal Revenue Service dengan subjek Notice of Underreported Income. Emel tersebut juga menggunakan nama domain irs.gov yang bukan milik LHDNM. Seperti orang ramai sedia maklum, nama domain LHDNM ialah hasil.gov.my. - Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri Malaysia  
  • E-mel yang tidak sahih itu menggunakan perkataan meyakinkan untuk menipu orang dengan klik kepada 'link' atau sambungan yang membuka laman web palsu..... - iberwang  

Explanation:
Note
Although the term "emel perdayaan" is the more official term provided by Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (the main publisher of Malay dictionaries and books), the term "emel palsu" (fake emails) seems to be more widely used.
