Subject: Panda 'phishing'?
To renewals@...dasoftware.co.uk,
As lovely as your renewal reminder (attached) looks to you, it looks hideous
as a page of Microsoft Word generated HTML/XML.
It is doubly stupid for a security company to send HTML emails with
deliberately misleading embedded URLs in it, i.e. the text
http://www.pandasoftware.co.uk/renew/index.htm
actually points to
https://www.secure-server-hosting.com/secutran/secureforms/sh202696/sfbuy_renewals.html
I do not have a relationship with this company and I don't know whether you
do either. There are plenty of examples of 'phishing' emails being sent at
the moment - is this one?
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=phishing&btnG=Google+Search
I have no reason to believe this email is a forgery but I will treat it as
such unless I hear from you otherwise.
I will not be renewing my subscription and will find an alternative to your
product unless I get a sensible reply from you. I have been using the
product for 2 years and have been otherwise happy with it and have
recommended it to colleagues, family and friends.
Yours, etc.
