Webmail Phishing Alert

We have received notice from one of our hosting customers that someone is trying to intimidate our users with a bogus email telling you that if you dont enter your email address, password, username, date of birth, your webmail account will be deleted and that you will not receive your email anymore.

This is not true...
This is what is known as a phishing email

Geek On Wheels would never use the kind of language that is written in this email (fear uncertainty and doubt)
We would never tell you to give us your credentials by havuing you reply to the email to keep your account active (we know these things already)
If we do need your credentials we would always call you first or make the chnages to the credentials from our hosting console where we have full control then notify you of the changes. We would also never ask you to click a link in a blind email to make these kind of changes or updates

We would never intimidate you to perform an action.
We would always sign our emails properly
IF you receive an email like this please fwd it to WebDude
then delete the email.

Never ever click the links if any contained in these kind of emails
no matter how legit it seems

Contact us by phone first

Dear Webmail Users

We are currently upgrading our database and e-mail account center i.e.
homepage view. We shall be deleting old email accounts, which are no longer
active to create more space for new accounts users. We have also
investigated a system wide security audit to improve and enhance our
current security.

In order to continue using our services you are require to update and
re-confirmed your email account details as requested below.  
To complete your account re-confirmation, you must reply to this email
immediately and enter your account details as requested below.

 Username: (                   )
 E-mail Login ID(            )
 Password: (      )
 Date of Birth  :(            )

Failure to do this will immediately render your account deactivated from
our database and service will not be interrupted, as important messages may
as well be lost due to your declining to re-confirm to us your account
details.

We apologize for the inconvenience that this will cause you during this
period, but trusting that we are here to serve you better and providing
more technology, which revolves around email and Internet.

It is also pertinent; you understand that our primary concern is for our
customers, and for the security of their files and data.
