Possible phishing email from Cimco?

[jeff]

Anyone recently get an email from Cimco out of the blue?

I haven't contacted them in years, and all of a sudden I get an email with an attached .pdf that I don't want to open.

_{I have not received an email like that from Cimco.. and I sure wouldn't open that one}

Probably a spoofed email address. Depending on the program you are using for email, you can sometimes just hover your mouse over the sender's email address (in Webmail for example), and your browser will display the actual (real) path to the sender in the bottom of the browser window. There are similar types of options in Outlook that let you view the actual "source" text of the email, and you can discover the real sender and a bunch of other info.

 

If you are using Outlook, don't view the message in the Reading Pane. Instead, double-click the message in your inbox to open the actual message, but do not click on the attachment. Then go to the File Tab or File Menu, and choose "Properties". This will display the Properties box, and at the bottom is the "Internet headers" section, where you can view the "trip around the world", the actual servers that the message went through on its way to your inbox. This usually also reveals the true identity of the sender, and the "alias" (spoof), which is the name that appears as the "sender" in Outlook, but is just a "display name", and not the actual loser that sent you the phishing scam...

Yeah, I got it too. Didn't dare to open the doc....

I got that same email and it is coming from a cretible email address whom we have worked with in the past. I tried to open it because I have worked with Jody before and the email address is the same but when you open the PDF it does not open and wants you to log in. I am just guessing but I think perhaps her email was compromised since some of my colleagues got that same email and it sounds like others too. Nothing that I know of happened to my computer from opening it but I wouldn't advise opening the pdf just to be safe.

I know Jody Romanowski.

 

She has a business, "Hummingbird Integration".

She is in fact a Cimco Reseller and more.

We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have created.

I got it as well. I contacted Jody as well. She said to delete the e-mail. I didn't open it up either.

[Mick]

 I did not receive it or my EarthLink virus blocker killed it before it arrived in my mailbox

[Jayson Kramer]

Gcode, in the past you have dealt with CCCS or Me or Lisa at the main office when comes to Cimco. I don't think you have worked with Jody at all.
