Email from strange address

anupviews

Hi,

I sent an email message from payonner. I got reply back email from: [email protected]

Is this legit or not?

Thanks!

Without knowing what it say in the email and complete header is hard to say if is legit, what i can tell you that email is not from Payoneer. It could be that company who you sent your email is using this as some sort of automatic reply but then again we dont know to who you originally sent your email.
Hard to make any checking based only on email. If you have any sensitive data (and probably you have) then do not post this information here on forum but open a ticket and ask support for help. There you can copy entire email including header so they will be able to tell you what to do.

I used to 'Contact Us' form from Payonner's own website choosing 'Card to Bank' option on subject. It's asking for email address and my physical address.

Thank for reporting this. It does seem like a phishing attempt. Could you please forward the email to me ([email protected])? Thanks.

I forwarded you the mail.

This is so surprising. How did Payoneer get so vulnerable? How did they even got MY reference number when I contacted PAYONEER?

Thanks. I checked and it is NOT a phishing attempt, but is an official address end by Payoneer’s automated support system. We have now removed it so it will not cause any more confusions as such.
