Email Deactivation Alert Scam
A deactivation alert for your email account, no time to lose confirm your credentials now, but this is a phishing attempt to gain access to your account.
I have given you one of the "red flags" a sense of urgency in the email... can you spot some of the others before I give them towards the bottom of the page?
E-Mails received:
Date: 25/08/2025, 22:41
From: Webmail Team info@proplate.se
To: [Name and E-Mail address redacted]
Subject: [E-mail address redacted] Deactivation Alert.
Notes
"Red Flags"
- Sense of urgency in the email, to take action now, perhaps before considering whther the email is a phishing scam
- No "branding" to the actual E-mail provider. Are you sure that your E-mail provider is actually contacting you?
- Sender email address info@poplate.se. Unless you happen to be a Swedish resident you are unlikely to get an email from a Swedish site and not from a genuine site (probably hacked) that is in metal manufacturing.
- Click through website address: https://diamondhub.org/wp-admin/mail.html#[Email address redacted]. An unlikely address for an isp (internet service provider) and the parent domain https://diamondhub.org has a warning on the site...
How many "red flags" did you spot?
Recommendation:
Just delete the e-mail, don't click on any links.
