Scam attempt 'offer' via email from clone Ring site

troubleshooting

battery-security-cameras

I’ve just had an email addressing me by my registered Ring acct name purporting to be from ring. Rewarding me with an offer on a Ring cam. The offer link takes you to a fake clone ‘UK’ ring site. When you click buy it asks for your details on a popup HTTPS. But note the address bar has changed to PeaksPursuit.com. This is a PSA for those that may be a little less tech savvy and may click through everything without noticing.

Hi @t2uds. Thank you for sharing this and trying to help other neighbors. This was also mentioned in this Community post, where I responded with a link to report these scams.

Me too. Had this same ‘offer’ yesterday, stupidly fell for it and ordered a camera, paid on card, then realised it was a scam when the scammers took two debits from my account and I looked at the return email address.

I’ve had two emails to the same effect today. Knew it was too good an offer (90% discount restocking offer 🙄) and the links on the page don’t go to any other page

Just had the same thing twice today, obviously a scam but still there are a lot of people who could fall for this, as a general rule I don't go through any email links for things like this, even if I think they're genuine, I just go straight to the website via my browser and check there, if it doesn't appear there it's probably a scam, plus what company now a days is going to offer you 90% off.  It does feel kind of targeted though so I wonder if Ring have had a data breach.
