Scam Alert from Graphic and Design companies.

This time we bring you that classic “Invoice” scam.

The email

If you check the link the “View Invoice” button points to you will notice that it is some random domain, totally different from the name of the company.

The link ultimately points to a file to download that looks like this: the-domain.com/invoice 3-5-2018.zip

Whatever you do, do not click any of the links or unsubscribe options in the email.

What to do next?

You have two options

1. Delete it straight away.
2. Report it.

Reporting the email

Luckily, the scammer is using mailchimp.com to send the email. That means that the mass mailing company can trace the email and block the offender.
