Title: Warning: Fake Dwolla Email
Post by: Icy- on June 21, 2011, 06:04:23 PM
Did anyone else get this email? It claims downtime and all the links in the email don't lead to the actual site.

jesus people. it's just an email letting you know there is downtime. No link clicks should be involved.

Are we sure it's fake?  They could just be using list-manage.com.

You could've checked the main site before posting this.

Yes, there is going to be some planned downtime. Relax.

yeah, they called to verify some info before depositing funds into my bank account, but then everything got to process a lot faster.

The only reason I say anything is the email looks sketchy, and look at the link it leads to.

Even if the site really is going down, someone could have taken advantage of this and sent these. Anyway, just wanted to check.
