“Your mailbox quota is full” Scam

May 5, 2016 by Sonja Ray Leave a Comment

One of my clients recently received the following email:

Your mailbox quota is full, This may cause a malfunction in your mailbox or you may not be able to receive more e-mail
Your mailbox quota is full,
This may cause a malfunction in your mailbox or you may not be able to receive more e-mail.

It’s clearly designed to panic the recipient into clicking the link by making them think their email will be cut off. I’m not sure what will happen if one clicks that link, but I’m quite sure it will not be good. This is either a spam or a scam, or possibly both.

Notice, when I hover my mouse over the link, where the link leads to. My client’s email is not hosted with filling.conwaydirect.net:

Notice where the link leads to when I hover my mouse over it.
Notice where the link leads to when I hover my mouse over it.

Be careful out there, folks. The internet is not always a friendly place.
