Beware of Suspicious Email from Former Pampered Partner Tech

[KellyTheChef]

Hi all!

I just received this email and thought it sounded rather fishy. Just wanted to give you all a heads up about this! DON'T give out any of your information! DH says this guy could be a hacker!

Hello Kelly,

My name is Tom. I used to be a Pampered Partner Tech. I no longer work there. I just wanted to let you know that I can help you with the Pampered Partner software. Just imagine calling at the month where you have to submit your shows before midnight and waited and waited. Well, please email me with any questions. My yahoo nick is twilliamsummer2007. Please add me to your yahoo messenger and we can chat.

Also, I can help your team too if they add me to their Yahoo friend list. I should be online most of the time at the end of the month.

I am doing this for a good cause. Basically, I am raising money for Churches. Any donation will work.

Thanks in advance.

 

[KellyTheChef]

Oh...who should I forward this to at HO?

 

[BethCooks4U]

WOW! I would definitely not respond to this! Forward it to the solution center - they will get it to the right place. Maybe this is one for Richard...

 

[chefkristin]

Very odd!!!! I am not sure who to send that to.

Oh, Richard at HO LOVES us!

[raebates]

Sounds fishy to me, too, Kelly. I'd let HO take care of it.

Bahaha - that's just what I was thinking!! LOL

 

[KellyTheChef]

I sent it to Richard and to the Solution Center!

Way to go Kelly!! Definately sounds like a scam. I wonder how they got your info? I guess anything is possible these days.

Let us know the outcome!

All anyone would need to do is start entering things to find PWSes, and go to the "contact me" pages. This is a good reminder to never, never, NEVER give out money or personal information in response to unsolicited email. And if you see something on the net that sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

[missyciccolella]

I think we all agree...send to HO! We should be sure to warn other consultants on our teams as well.

The one thing that would make me think that he is more of a "PC Insider" is that he says he used to be a PP tech......and I don't think the average person on the street would know the PC lingo enough to know that our program is called Pampered Partner.......I think he did probably work for PC at sometime, but is now running a scam.....

That is what I was thinking

 

[cmdtrgd]

You never know...he could be a disgruntled past consultant, past HO worker, etc. He could also be truly legit and working for a good cause....it is so hard to find these things out - that is why we have Richard and HO!

 

[KellyTheChef]

Here is what I received from Richard:

Hi Kelly,



Thank you very much for forwarding this to us. Of course we recommended all of our Consultants to contact our Technical Support Department here at The Home Office. I have forwarded the e-mail to our Legal Department so they can investigate further.



Thanks,



Richard Laiche

Robin

haha........ I am not sure that would be it either......... LOL it could be Demark????

 

[KellyTheChef]

Richard contacted me again...we were all right in our assumptions that this is NOT on the up and up!

Hi Kelly,



Our Legal Department just notified me that we never had a gentleman by the name of Tom William working in our Tech Department at any time. It is good to know that you would never contact him. It appears as though he is simply trying to use our Consultant’s to get “donations” by claiming he was a former Tech Support rep.


Thanks,



Richard Laiche
