Harlot,

Never heard of such and frankly I would call Peugeot and ask what kind of publicity stunt is that. They'll probably ask you to send it to them so that they see what it is about.

I wouldn't reply to this for sure.

looks like spam to me.

[Harlot]

Thats what I'm thinking SPAM,but I've always had them ask for bank account #'s so this one confussed me. But if it was true not even sure how much money that would be in US dollars it would be nice. And i seen what the car looks like ,it's ok but I still (slap my driving hand) like my JEEP. I'll see if I can find a web site for this place,I'll post what I find.

I would bet it is a Phishing attempt. Send NO information!

SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Harlot]

I sent the company a email to let them know this is going around. HopeI did good!!

[TheCarolinaScotsman]

If that is a verbatum text of what the message says, then the writer definitely has English as a second language and not very good at it.

[John Clements]

Hi Harlot;
If it sounds to good to be true, then it probably isn’t.

Phishing. And like the Scotsman said, not from anyone with a genuine British use of the language.

[Patch]

They are asking for enough information to find the rest for an identity theft.

Maybe when they get my e-mail and see that I saved their company from some form of embarrassment, they will feel the need to say Thank You and give me the money and car. So just how much is that?

[Harlot]

I received this back from them:


Dear Mrs.Shipe,

Thank you for informing Peugeot Automobile of the email you have received.

I confirm that it is a fraudulent email (a scam).

Consequently, if you receive an e-mail from a person or a compagny pretending to be Peugeot, please make sure that it concerns an official Peugeot Website. Otherwise, please do not answer them.

However, I have passed on your message to the relevant department at Peugeot in order to be informed.

Please feel free to contact me should you require any further information.


Best regards,
