Help me understand why I would be receiving emails from nexway.com acting as if they are Avast and using an email address of mine that only Avast.com has.
The link that they provide to “Avast Customer Portal” is:
If not, and if these emails are illegitimate(as I suspect), what is Avast.com doing to protect its customers?
Why do they have information for me that only Avast.com should have?
Have you had a security breech?
I recently had a fake mail pretending to be from Avast offering 50 % Discount on Cleanup, with a mail that only Avasts distributor where i ordered my License from has and Avast themselves… This is the mail if you wanna take a look at it:
Firstly I’m an avast user not employee.
You don’t give any information about the content of the email/s (so no one can hazard a guess) ?
Nexway.com is one company that handles payments on behalf of avast. They handle payments for lots of different companies. There is always a possibility of someone trying it on (phishing) in the hope of getting payment, especially if it doesn’t lead to nexway.com.
You haven’t said what avast version you have ?
Only paid versions would be likely to have any contact with Nexway.com (payment and auto renewal). If you have a paid version of avast and you had auto payment renewal, then you are likely to have received emails of the pending auto payment renewal. Hopefully you can see why we need more information
