Possible phishing scam

Discussion in 'Questions & Suggestions' started by 56don, May 16, 2016.

  1. Has anyone else got this email? I didn't request a reset so
    I suspect it is a link to a virus so I ignored it.

    No spammer is sending out millions of HAMB password reset emails hoping to get someone's HAMB login, what would they do with it? Use your account to sell something? Accounts are free. Someone was trying to change your password. I'd report this directly to the admins.

  6. If you didn't request it. Don't press the button.
     
  7. I think the purpose would be for someone to click on the provided link then they get a virus, ransomware or some other vile infection. Just thought I would put it out there in case someone else gets it and clicks on the link before they think it through.

    It's the lost password email... That happens occasionally... Someone might have thought they had that username.

    I wouldn't worry about it unless you start getting a bunch of them.
