Default Phishing alert

Just received this message via e-mail:

******************************************
Subject: Payment Problem : Concerning your eCodeTuning.com Order

You Credit Card Order was not processed succesfully

Kindly Follow the link below to update your Card Details.

Sign In »

Thank you

Billing Operator.
*******************************************

Note that I never ever purchased anything from that vendor, and that I don't have any outstanding orders with them (I guess they got my e-mail address from some other source).

Be careful out there!

Default I received that email too. I have never ordered anything from them. Their site has been hacked.

<b><font color="red">Their site has been hacked.</font></b>

The email address they used for me is not the email address I use for Audiworld.

I did create a userid and pwd for their site, that is the email address the phishers used in my email. The only way that a connection can be made between Eurocode and me is through me setting up a user account with Eurocode. <b><font color="red">Their site has been hacked.</font></b>

If you go directly to ecodetuning.com and try to do anything on their account page (like logging into your account), you can't. The page is broken.

If anyone has bought something from them and given them a still valid credit card, you may be in trouble.

I just emailed Eurocode asking them to immediately remove me from their database, and sent the link to this thread. Hopefully they will follow through.
