ChipDoc Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I had the weirdest thing happen to me the other day - I got an offer to become part of the Manfrotto team. Now Manfrotto is a real company - they make some of the best photographic tripods in the world. Because I knew that bit of info, I didn't immediately toss the note.But neither have I done anything with it. I don't expect anyone to put $25million in my account, but I could probably be tempted into doing something stupid for a half-price Manfrotto tripod!

zlim Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Does Manfrotto know your email address?I've gotten 3 phishing emails in the past week from Capital One. I know they are phishing attempts (forwarded them to the government) simply because I do not have any Capital One accounts therefore, they would not know my email address.

ChipDoc Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 No, I've never dealt with them before. But the links all go to the real Manfrotto. I don't know; I'll probably just forget about it and that'll be that. I never reply to any of those things anyway, but this one I've not deleted.

It would be useful to forward those phishing e-mails to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't promise huge things, but maybe just a 50% off coupon for a local restaurant, or a tripod, or whatever. My policy is that if I hesitate to click it's enough of a warning for me. I don't click, I delete. That little hesitation is enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't actually deleted it, but it's moved three or four pages down the list at this point and I've stopped thinking about it.But a half-off discount on a Manfrotto isn't a small thing. It'd save me about $200-$250 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mac Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 There was one in my Gmail Spam inbox this morning. So apparently Google has added this phishing attempt to its spam database. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
