Hi All, It seems somone is posing as Cityvibe and requesting your perosnal information in order to keep your ad up. Below is a copy of how it reads. There is pdf. file attached to fill out and fax. I got 10 of them at one time.
THIS IS NOT FROM CITYVIBE!!! Foward the email to them or delete it.
It ReadS: Dear Customer,
Cityvibe appreciates your business and would like to continue including your ad on Cityvibe.com. This email is to inform you that Cityvibe 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 Cityvibe.com. Thank you in advance for you cooperation.
Ladies - check the number via a reverse number lookup. Then post the info to all. If it is a blocked number or non-published it may be LE. But there are still ways to check the number further to see what activities it may be associated with (but that will cost you a few bucks). But...be safe and use common sense, always!!! A grateful hobbyist.
I not only got a couple of these messages, I got the letter from "Igor" listing all of the e-mail addresses it went to. I never open any of the attachments to this sort of letter because I assume that it has a virus or worm hidden in the attachment. Several letters with the same subject line from different e-mail addresses are automatically assumed as fraudulent. But thanks for the "heads up".
