Anyone else get an email like....
this one? I have no idea who it's from! Looked at the website in the "from" address and have never heard of them. Since they don't really ID themselves I certainly won't be replying with any information! Replied to the email that I have no clue who they are and will not be sending anything until I find out for sure. Could this be another phishing scheme?

Re: Bonnie...
Thanks Bonnie, but he works for *himself* and by *himself* -- as he told me when beginning the signing -- "he just doesn't like people."
I wasn't worried about my safety -- but no different than any other signing, I did leave my brief case open with the pepper spray within reach.

Re: Bonnie...
I think actually he's probably quite happy being a loner and not allowing people to get close.

Bonnie, I just received one a few minutes ago. I replied "what company are you" and it came back as undeliverable. When I checked the properties, it said "untrusted person"! Whatever the heck that means. It is very strange.....! It must be a scam of some type. Why would the info at registration be illegible?

My partner and I both received it as well. The actual website is for a Webdesign company. This is either a clear phishing attempt, or maybe a cheesy attempt to get NSA's to a site where the company might get business? Either way, we just deleted it.

Re: This is a Phishing Scam....
and they are hoping you will provide the requested info. so they can steal it and use if for identity theft. If your service provider has a fraud division, you can forward the email to them.

Hey, if they do it again...I'll go pay them a visit. They reside just down the street a few miles. I'll wear my TKD uniform and scare them from using our Notary Rotary info again. LOL!

Follow-up...
I just spoke with Chad at ThePlanet.com and for those of you that haven't deleted your email from them yet, please forward it to [e-mail address] and let them know. They told me no one could get in to their "VER SECURE" system, but that want to know what is going on. They are a legit co. and Chad was very appreciative.
