WARNING! WARNING LADIES...PLEASE READ..Do not fill out any information request, emailed to you, by your current advertisers, before calling and confirming with them it's legit first.
I received two separate emails, one from Eros guide and the other from City Vibe, (two malls I advertise on). In the subject column is Eros Ad Suspension Notice Or City Vibe suspension Notice. This is the text. And then there is an attachment included.
"Dear Customer, Eros Ads appreciates your business and would like to continue including your ad on Eros Guide. This email is to inform you that Eros Ads requires your verification of information provided at time you placed an ad with us. Please complete Account Verification Form and return to us by fax within the next 2 business days to avoid suspension of your ad currently on Eros Guide. Thank you in advance for you cooperation."
Finding this strange and suspicious, I called Eros and City Vibe, before I filled anything out and they verified my suspicions that this is a scam, fraud, and a fake. Do not fill out any information sent to you by your advertisers before calling and confirming it with them first, and do not open the attachment!!!!
ID Theivers have been using this tactic for many years, they just keep re-inventing the crime. Anything regarding your personal identifying information and credit card or account info should ALWAYS be verified before sureendering or confirming the info.
