marie b. Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 (I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this. Feel free to move it.) While I was sleeping, I received an email from support-at-uniquelyalike. Obviously, my first thought was "spam!" since I never created an account with that prefix, but I just wanted to doublecheck since -- to be perfectly honest -- I have no idea how hosting companies work. Stupid question, maybe - perhaps it's obviously spam. But it, apparently, contains "information regarding my account limitations," and I've been using a larger chunk of bandwidth than usual lately with renovations and such. Long story short : I'm just checking to see if it's spam or the real (but odd) deal. Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 It's a spam message and you can just delete it. There are several of these email viruses out there that send email with spoofed addresses to make them look real. Quote
TCH-Don Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 If you receive an e-mail from TCH about your account it will be to the contact addy you put in your cpanel or the one you signed up with and be from TCH Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 Marie, I hadn't received one of those in quite a while. But today after I responded here I got one about 1/2 hour later. Weird or what? Quote
marie b. Posted June 6, 2005 Author Posted June 6, 2005 Freaky. The reason I didn't automatically delete the email was because I've been using a lot of resources lately, and making a lot of changes - thought that maybe I was "in trouble" for something. Feel silly now, but at least now I know. Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 If you were in trouble I don't think you would get email addressed from your domain to you. I think it would come from totalchoicehosting.com Quote
Deverill Posted June 7, 2005 Posted June 7, 2005 There is a new rash of these going around. We haven't seen them for about 6 months at work but this past few days have gotten about 8 or so calls about it (in my day job). So far everyone has been smart about opening them but this evening our network went nuts so maybe the antivirus stuff didn't catch it all. Quote
