Tweeks Cycles - scam email

[robjh]

Yesterday I received an email purporting to be from Tweeks Cycles promoting their sales, but on clicking on the links it looks decidedly dodgy. The details are as below, and if you get the same thing then it would be best to delete it. I've informed Tweeks but no reply yet.

Email title and main body (looks like a screen shot of Tweeks website)

but clicking on any link directs you to pages on the url web-tweekscycles.com (Tweeks themselves appear not to start with web-) and triggers security warnings

and

The return email address starts re-33LZ-TPZ3-5R8NXF-C0QV6@web...

Best not to go there.

Are you on the real Tweek Cycles mailing list?
If so, it's more worrying than just a scattergun email scam as it could suggest the real Tweek Cycles email database has been compromised.

Yes, I get legit stuff from them too. In any case, I've forwarded it to them so they can take what action they want.

Good point, I've used them before.

.... I've informed Tweeks but no reply yet....

Its taking them about 10 days to respond to emails, so I doubt they will be taking any corrective action anytime soon.

I think the 15 months should be sufficient since the OP's post.

So... They may have just got to it then!!!
