We recently attended a customer whose domain is hosted by company X.

They had received an email purporting to be from company X saying that their email box was full and that they needed to pay some money to increase the size of their mailbox.

I logged onto her webhosting company dashboard to see that her mailbox was hardly used, so immediately contacted company X to find out that in did the email was a scam!

If she hadn’t have called me, she would have paid the money oblivious to anything wrong and in a few months probably received another bogus demand.

This just shows the extent that crooks will go to try to steal money from you!
