Suspicious message from my stores contact form

Received a suspicious message from oliviahelene5907@hushesmail.com on my contact form. The comment just says “Hey, anyone here?”. Also, the country code in the message says US, but when I look at the analytics this person is searching from Dhaka, Bangladesh. I’m 99% sure this is a scam. Has anyone else received this? Is there a way to report or flag this person?

Thank you!

Hi @KravnLane ,

I am quite sure that this is likely a scam and should just be ignored. I suspect that they are just trying to get in contact with you and try and sell you some product or something potentially even worse.

I’m happy to see that you have taken a proactive approach to this situation :slightly_smiling_face:

Regards,

Marko

Hi, I got one today… same domain but different person… I am like, should I even reply… same question…

I did not reply. I recently attended a cyber attack webinar that said
responding to scam or phishing emails confirms that the email account is
active, making you a target for further phishing attacks - potentially
allowing those attacks to land directly in your email inbox.
Most times scammers wont even respond after your reply, because the reply
is what they need to confirm your info. If they do reply, I learned that
this is a strategic attack to gain the trust of your email security tools
which then might recognize the attacker as someone you trust - also making
you susceptible to further cyber attacks. It’s all very alarming to say the
least.

A round of searches shows reviews for the domain “h u s h e smail.com” in turn pointing to poor security posture of the service.

Seems like some sales tactic, don’t know how legit it is as I won’t be following through.

I replied to sarahmelissa6399@hushsmails.com and received the following message:

I’m glad you’re here.

I came across your website when working with one of our clients and discovered some worrying holes – such as section overlaps, copywriting, and design mistakes - Your store can get way better results if you can fix this.

Also, I’ve noticed your site is not optimized based on your audience’s interests - which I believe is causing your business to be missing out on a lot of quality traffic and sales.

We have experience over 4 years of optimizing Shopify Stores for better conversion. I have added some screenshots of our previous client’s feedback; I hope you will check that.

To see what we can do for you, visit our agency: www.designslic.co.uk and check our previous client’s results from the Case study section.

I will tell you about our strategy and working process if you are interested. Let me know.
Waiting for your reply

I received one just now from Sarah Melissa also
