SCAM WARNING: DNSCORP.ORG - targeting me today

[ExtraSlow]

Got an email to my company websites "info" email today from dnscorp.org. Let me tell you, when I read it I nearly jumped off the toilet! My normal process for stuff like this is to check it out, and turns out this is a scam. I confirmed my domain is not up for renewal and double checked it's status with my domain host.

reminder, if you need to renew any services, never click a link in the email, always go in through the main account login of the provider that you normally use for that service.

Best wishes everyone.

Full text of email (with domain changed) is below for anyone who wants to read it.

That's right.

A very common phishing scam right now is the fake "reset your Outlook password" email.

A good rule of thumb to abide by is unless you just submitted a request to reset a password yourself, never trust any link you receive.
