Fake password requests from Zweihammer.com

[Zweihammer]

Greetings All-
I guess I have finally made it. In addition to a recent flood of copious amounts of spam hitting my administrator email linked to my site, I now see that fake "reset your pass word" and "confirm your password" emails have been sent out from this morning "support@zweihammer.com". This account does not exist from me or zweihammer.com.

I am not certain how to eliminate this, but these are FAKE.

I apologize for whatever this is, any suggestions would be welcome.

Yeah, us too. It's just a marketing company phishing to find out of the addresses are valid, and most net-saavy people know to ignore it. If you don't respond they/it assume/s it's not a valid address and your name gets dropped.

For anyone who got a notice ad are unsure about it, the mails don't come from us, and we've not reset anything. Everyone's account is fine and secure.

I may be stating the obvious, but have you been in contact with your ISP about the weirdness?

[Zweihammer]

Yeah, it is being looked into.

Maybe I am over reacting, as I received these to the account linked to the site itself and I don't know if anyone else has.

Most of the time I hover over the addy on some of these phishing emails to see how the hacked email account doesn't match the name, before I delete them unopened. I find the amateurish attempts funny most of the time.

But when it is made to look like from support@zweihammer.com, I became concerned.

I don't know if many fall for these scams any more, some must or they wouldn't keep sending them out.

Thanks

Gotta tell you -- with that munged address, it sounds like they can be investigated for some element of fraud (on several levels) and identity theft.

I'd talk to someone about that.

This is a real virus if it is the same one my company spent all morning battling.
