Convergentcare.com Email Scam...Anyone Seen This??
One of my readers, I'll call her Susan" emailed me recently to ask a question regarding a strange email she received. I have changed the account number below to protect her identity. I've never seen an email scam like this so I'm throwing this out to the group to see what anyone thinks. Your comments are welcomed and appreciated and to "Susan" thanks for emailing me. I apologize it took this long to post your email.
Anyway to those who are interested...Below is her email:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was doing a google search after coming across a fishy email I received, and I can across your blog. Although this email doesn't relate to a job offer, it still seems fake to me. But my biggest concern is that something worse than just a generic email scam has happened to me.
Like I said, I recieved this email, but have NO IDEA as to what it could be for. The email doesn't list who the provider they are billing for IS, nor does it give ANY contact info. Is this just a standard scam?? or could someone have stolen my identity and started an account somewhere in my name??
Any thoughts you could send my way would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!!
Sincerely,
Susan

I got the same email, and I keep getting them. I have no idea who this company is, and they've made it incredibly difficult to find out. I'm also worried if it's something more consequential than a simple email scam, so if anyone has any info, please post!
I think it's nothing to worry about.
I receive the identical email monthly. Sent an email asking for more info - no reply.
The concern here is whether they are taking money from an account. I don't know that yet.
This whois link will give you more info: whois.domaintools.com/convergentcare.com
CONVERGENTCARE.COM IS A SITE FOR A COMPANY NAMES T6 BROADBAND. MY COMAPNY IN WISCONSIN USES THEM FOR DIAL UP INTERNET AS A BACKUP INCASE OUR SYSTEM GOES DOWN. CONVERGENTCARE.COM IS A VERY GENERIC SITE WHICH LOOKS FAKE. IF YOU HAVE A T6 ACCOUNT AND LOG IN YOU'RE TAKEN TO ANOTHER VERY GENERIC PAGE THAT WILL LIST BASIC ACCOUNT INFORMATION. THEY ALSO HAVE ANOTHER WEB SITE T6B.COM. FROM THERE IF YOU CLICK ON "PAY YOUR BILL" YOU WILL BE TAKEN TO THE VERY SAME GENERIC PAGE THAT YOU FOUND AT CONVERGENTCARE.COM
It's the billing page used for Skybeam.
Yep. Looks fishy as the ocean but it's Skybeam's billing utility. Why they make it look so scary, I don't know.
I keep getting it too, but I don't have any of their services so why am I getting it?
This must be a scam. I don't have any account with the one that they say I have.
If it walks like a duck...
I have received this for quite awhile. I finally figured out what it was for - today. I have DIGIS Internet. This is their portal for signing in and seeing your statement.
