Eerie email from Mozy
A few months ago I visited Mozy Pro, the business version of the popular Mozy online backup company. I was just browsing - looking at specs, checking prices, etc. I decided not to use their services. Today I got an email from someone at Mozy asking if technical difficulties with the site prevented me from signing-up.
Odd thing is - I don’t ever remember giving them any piece of information besides what get’s handed-off while surfing (IP address, etc). I even checked my email accounts - nothing from Mozy except for the email today.
The email, including the headers, looks legit. I wonder how they got my information? Or is this some kind of intrepid spam whereby someone just guesses you visited the site? Anyway, below you’ll find the email.
Hi [Redacted my full name],
I noticed you visited our MozyPro Business sign up page not to long ago, but didn’t complete the transaction. I just wanted to make sure you didn’t have trouble with the website or that there weren’t any additional questions about our company or product.
I don’t know if you had the chance to see, but we recently signed the 2nd largest company in the world, General Electric. The press release is very interesting and informative, and you can check it out at https://www.mozypro.com/mozy_pro/news.
If you have any further questions or concerns regarding our product, my contact info is below and I will be happy to help!
If you are ready to get signed up just follow the link provided below, and I will be able to keep track of your account, get you the 30 day money back guarantee, and take care of you personally if you need anything.
