invisionhost.com.au support fraud


I got an email stating that i have to change/update my 2co's account. The email is looks like "plain text" but it was html so be aware to click a link in this email, it will redirect you to <<snipped>> NOT to 2checkout.com origin website.

Are you a client of invisionhost, or was this something like the paypal/ebay/bank scams?

It was a phising scam and someone hosted on invisionshosts servers. Its happened to a number of hosts, it doesn't mean they are a fraud
