So I get this email at work from this chick Vanessa. I am being invited to a local Dining and bowling march madness ...it says it is with AWS. The name is also familiar so I assume it is a fun company function.
It looks like it is from an internal source as it cc'd with away my company name. It looks like fun but then I stop! Her address is @amazon.com. Darn now I can't click the invite and get bowling, food and drink. So I look up Vanessa Bruno at amazon and I see a clothing line and purses and crap. Anyone know this Vanessa ...should I go?
@Linkat,
It depends on how much you want the free wine and nibbles and if you are interested in the merchandise.
I doubt it will be a fun night of bowling, but I may be wrong.
@izzythepush,
I had asked another woman at work if she got invited but no she did not ...it makes no mention of selling merchandise but I am guessing that is the ploy.
@Linkat,
I don't know how they do it, there must be lists of our online purchases somewhere, if you've bought clothes or similar on Amazon you may have hit some algorithm or other.
@Linkat,
It sounds like a phishing attack, especially as it was made to look like it was internal. I'd report it to your IT department. I've had a couple of emails that IT investigated and said they looked like phishing.
@engineer,
I might do that we have a thing we can click on to report an email being potentially phishing.
Stumble It!
