No, We Don’t Want Your Username & Password… or Your Routing Number

As you know, the level of spam messages being sent increases every day.  It has come to our attention that there is currently an email asking for personal account information that appears to be from Tranquility Internet Services.  We would not ask you for any personal information; and if a change would be necessary, we would ask that you contact our office regarding any such change.  We continue to do our best to limit the amount of spam that our clients receive; and again remind you that you should never respond to any message requesting personal information.  Thank you for your patience and vigilance as we all strive to maintain a safe and productive Internet experience.
 
Here is an example from earlier today:

Notice that the from address lists Admin@tranquility.net as the name and enquirie@administrativos.com as the actual address. This should tell you that it is not really from Tranquility.
 
We invite everyone to brush up on their detective skills and read a short blog post of ours: Is This Email Legit?
 
Remember: When in doubt, contact us and we can verify if an email that is supposedly from Tranquility really is or not. Thank you to all of our customers who have contacted us regarding suspicious emails!
 
Happy surfing, 
Tranquility and MayeCreate
