Dear Valued GotSKY Unlimited Customer,
It has come to our attention that some of you may have
received what has been identified as a ?phishing email?
requesting GotSKY personal account information.
We would like to assure you that GotSKY Unlimited would
never request any personal account information via email.
If you received an email requesting this information,
please DO NOT respond to it in any way.
There are a number of ways to recognize a fraudulent
or ?phising? email:
1. Misspelled words in both the Subject line and body
of the email
a. legitimate emails will not have misspellings
2. Urgent requests for personal information, such as
user names and passwords
a. may also include requests for account numbers,
SSNs, birthdates, etc.
3. These emails often contain links that appear
legitimate but are often ?spoofed? or forged
a. NEVER click on a link that you suspect is not
authentic
You should always report ?phising? or ?spoofed? emails.
These emails should be sent to the following groups:
1. forward the email to reportphising@antiphising.org
2. forward the email to phishing-report@us-cert.gov
3. forward the email to the Federal Trade Commission
at spam@uce.gov
4. forward the email to the ?abuse? or support email
address at the company that is being spoofed
(i.e. ?spoof@ebay.com?)
When forwarding the spoofed messages, always include the
entire original email with its original header information
intact.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to
contact us at 800-221-3474, Monday through Friday, 8am to
5pm PST.
Thank you,
Technical Services Department
Got SKY Unlimited |
