🚨 URGENT PHISHING ALERT: PROTECT YOUR DATA! 🚨
Dear Valued Clients and Friends,
Please be aware of a fraudulent email scam targeting our community. We have received reports of phishing emails that are impersonating one of our highly respected rental agents.
🛑 How the Scam Works
The scammers are sending emails, often with subjects related to "Web Hosting," requesting a very small amount to be paid (such as R 99.00 ZAR). They are using our agent’s legitimate contact details and professional signature to make the email appear credible.
However, the services they claim you need to renew are NOT related to our property rentals and are not managed by our team or our offices.
🔎 Key Signs to Spot the Fake
Sender Email Address: The emails are sent from suspicious, randomized addresses, NOT from our genuine company email Seeff.com domain,
Irrelevant Content: We do NOT manage web hosting services. If you receive an email regarding hosting renewals from us, it is definitively a fake.
Urgency & Threats: Scammers create false urgency (e.g., citing an "expiry date" or immediate "deactivation") to pressure you into acting quickly without thinking.
🛡️ Your Security is Our Priority! If you receive this email, please take the following steps immediately:
✅ DO NOT CLICK any links, especially buttons that say "Complete Renewal."
✅ DO NOT REPLY to the sender.
✅ Report phishing or Report spam
🗑️ How to Block, Mark as Spam, and Delete To protect your inbox from future emails from these scammers, follow the instructions below based on your email provider:
For Gmail Users:
Open the suspicious email (do not click any links or download attachments inside).
Click the three vertical dots in the top-right corner of the email.
Select Report phishing or Report spam to notify Google and move the email out of your inbox.
Click the three dots again and select Block [Sender] to stop future emails from that specific address.
Go to your Spam/Trash folder and select Empty Trash Now to permanently delete it.
For Outlook / Hotmail Users:
Select the suspicious email in your inbox.
In the top menu bar, click on Report (or Junk, depending on your version).
Select Report phishing or Block.
The email will automatically be moved to your Deleted Items. Right-click your Deleted Items folder and select Empty Folder.
For Apple Mail (Mac/iOS) Users:
Open the email.
Tap or click on the sender's name in the header.
Select Block this Contact.
Click the Move to Junk icon to flag it.
Delete the email by moving it to the Trash, and then permanently empty your Trash folder.
We take your security very seriously and are taking active steps to address this. Thank you for your vigilance.
