Have You Gotten A Spoofed AW Domain Email?

by

I’ve posted a warning on the forums, and I wanted to give you guys, here, a heads-up as well.

If you get this email, pretending to be from absolutewrite.com, it’s NOT from us. It’s a phishing scam spoofing an AW email address. Do NOT download anything. Do NOT open the attached file.

I’ve gotten dozens of different versions of this, yesterday and today:

Re: absolutewrite.com account notification

This e-mail was send by absolutewrite.com to notify you that we have temporanly prevented access to your account.

For the record, we will NEVER ask you to download anything, and we will NEVER ask for a password or login information.

Also, my spelling is generally at least a little better than that.

  2. Hi Marc,

    I have to say, the grammar errors in your post don’t inspire confidence in the product. Nonetheless, there’s a “contact” link in the left column where you’ll be more likely to actually get a response to your question.
