Website Inquiry: Phishing Scam
If you own a domain name, you will likely have received a slew of emails similar to the one below.
They are part of a new phishing scam. Do NOT reply as they will only solicit further information from you, which will be used to rip you off.
Some points to note: The ‘from name’ has no relation to the ‘from email’, which is different from the person who signs the email and the ‘reply to email address’ is also different
