A quick heads-up as this is becoming a bit relentless…
Someone is currently impersonating me and Eldo Web Design by email.
They’re setting up Gmail accounts using my name, copying my branding and business details, and emailing people pretending to be me. The latest emails are warning about domain renewals and websites being suspended, before trying to get money out of people.
I’ve been doing everything we can to stop it – reporting the email addresses and getting accounts shut down, blocking the IP addresses they’ve been using from accessing our website, and we’ve even managed to get one of the payment accounts they were directing people to suspended.
Unfortunately, they just keep creating new accounts and trying again.
They haven’t hacked me or gained access to any of our systems or client data. They are finding email addresses that are publicly available on websites Eldo have built and contacting people from there.
So, just a quick reminder: if it’s genuinely from me, it’ll come from [email protected].
If you get anything from a Gmail address pretending to be me, it isn’t me. Please delete it – and feel free to let me know so I can add it to the ever-growing list of accounts I’m reporting!
Thanks to everyone who’s already messaged me to check. 👍
