Email from Sole Society Legal Action

The Sole Society was founded in 2011 and has since grown its business: in late 2014, Aldo became its leading supplier of footwear and handbags and received $8 million in funding from Nordstrom and Insight Partners the following summer. The investment has enabled the Los Angeles-based company to strengthen its management team and expand its sales beyond the direct-to-consumer model. With the cash injection, he was also able to open a 2,250-square-foot brick and mortar outpost at Santa Monica Place Mall in California in December 2015. (The store would have closed.) Sole Society confirmed that the recent emails threatening legal action against customers were a scam. According to Milled.com, which acts as a search engine for sales, offers and coupons via email newsletters, customers received an email from the shoe and accessories manufacturer suggesting they check their credit cards or risk legal action. The reality of fake news – “Sole Society or Vince Camuto – A lawsuit can be taken against you, there was a problem with your order. YOU NEED TO CHECK YOUR CREDIT CARD” and so on Customers were then redirected to a shortened link as well as a button that read “Click here to verify your account”. Milled.com reported that the emails were sent between midnight and 1 a.m. today. If you`re wondering why you received these emails, keep in mind that your email address (and possibly other information) was compromised in a data breach. To check this, go to haveibeenpwned.com. Fraud reports: Sole Society or Vince Camuto – A lawsuit can be taken against you, there is a problem with your order.

YOU NEED TO CHECK YOUR CREDIT CARD, and so on are nothing more than phishing messages sent with the intention of scamming you. These messages do not come from a real company, but from scammers. Thus, whenever you have received these types of messages, you should not follow the instructions contained in these messages. Instead, you should contact or check the official website of the respective company (in this case, Sole Society or Vince Camuto) to confirm that these messages are genuine or fake. Moreover, no legitimate company would ever ask you to verify your credit card information through such an email. Another telltale sign that exposes this as a scam would be the bad grammar used in these emails. Subject: Very important warning Legal measures may be taken on your behalf. You can be sure that your credit card is safe and healthy until you respond to this email. If you receive this message and have any doubts about its accuracy, contact the official website of the Sole Society and check your purchases. However, scammers could also use other brand names, not just the Sole Society, so be careful. Better to be sure than tolerance. Customers who received the phishing email but did not open it were instructed by the Sole Society not to click on or respond to it, or to any of its links.

Buyers, as well as those who opened the email but did not click on the links, were asked to delete the email as soon as possible. Some of the emails may also have been sent by the Sole Society, another website that sells shoes, as well as by “corporate lawyers.” It doesn`t matter. No legal action will be taken against you. These emails are fake. Sole Society buyers may have received a disturbing email overnight – but the news appears to be a scam. Beware of phishing messages that claim to be from Sole Society or Vince Camuto, but come from scammers who threaten to take legal action against you if you don`t check your credit card by the date listed in the email. They include a phone number (866) 239-0643 in Vince Camuto`s email, which is false because Vince Camuto`s real phone number that you can find in other Vince Camuto email ads is 855-435-5050. You can also find the same number for Vince Camuto by doing the Google search. An example of such a fraudulent email is as follows: If you have already clicked on the link and submitted your information on the page to which you were redirected, please change your password and check your credit card statement for fraudulent transactions and report it to your bank. Here`s a screenshot of the email criminals that just got sent to all Sole Society email subscribers: In a statement to FN, the shoe and accessories maker said it learned today that unauthorized phishing emails had been sent to its mailing list. In messages displaying subject lines with warnings of “lawsuit” or “problem with a previous order,” customers` credit card information was requested. If you have received these or similar emails, you can file a complaint with the FBI`s Internet Crimes Center, especially if you have responded with your actual information.

Email spoofing is a very dangerous scam because most of us immediately open an email sent by someone we know.
