    Default Is this a phish?

    I received this today. I am also going to forward it to my webhosting company. Because it specifically mentions Zencart and a "Zencart panel" (whatever that is) I became suspicious. Does anyone know anything about this.?

    Looks like a scam to me.

    Whoever they are they definitely don't have any official relationship with the Zen Cart Team.

    Best to report it as spam.

    Thanks, that's what I thought. I've also sent it off to my webhosting company where I have the SSL certificate.

    It did get my attention! But rule #1. Never click on a link unless you're absolutely, 100% sure.
    The giveaways were the association of Zencart with the SSL and the use of the term "Zencart panel".

    While some will say that I'm not one to talk :), but there are numerous grammar errors that have the air of foreign origin.

    I could envision Zen Cart "panel" to mean the admin as there are multiple terms that have been seen through the years, but it certainly is a suspicious message good action on the IT security side.

    My web hosting company confirmed that it wasn't legitimate.
