Beware of scammers!

Hi Everyone,

We have been informed about some scammers trying to get your personal details by saying they are from X-Cart.

Namely, someone is sending messages like this one:

Quote:

-------------------------

*From:* X-Cart [mailto:support@x-cart-noreply.com]
*Sent:* Wednesday, September 08, 2010 6:05 PM
*To:* some@emailaddress.com
*Subject:* We have detected multiple login attempts!

Please pay attention that we do not have domain name x-cart-noreply.com

Also, there is no such domain at all.

Quote:

[ambal@kde194-green][~]$ host x-cart-noreply.com
Host x-cart-noreply.com not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

Someone is trying to get you to click the link and get to a page that looks like HelpDesk login page. It may contain malicious code as well.

Please be aware of this threat!

Re: Beware of scammers!

Can you confirm if QT sends out similar email at all or not and if yes in what situations?

Re: Beware of scammers!

The scammers' message mimics message our HelpDesk system sends after 5 unsuccessful login attempts.

Thanks. Good to know.

i CAN ONLY ASSUME THAT THIS IS A SCAM BEWARE AS I HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF THIS

Dear chris,

Back in 2010 we added a free X-Payments license to your HelpDesk account at https://secure.qtmsoft.com

We would like to inform you that we are annulling unused free X-Payments licenses on March 1st 2013.

To avoid annulment of your X-Payments license please follow these steps before March 1st 2013:
1. Install X-Payments on your server. You can skip this step if you've already installed X-Payments.
2. Register your X-Payments installation in "My licenses" section of your HelpDesk account by entering its URL for your X-Payments license (see below).

Thus you will indicate us that you do use your free X-Payments license and we won't annul it on March 1st 2013.
