"Background Check Alert" Emails

Yes, and it appears " instant confirm.com" is getting involved in trying to use vaguely expressed extortion attempts to get people to pay money for the supposed information they have "on file"

Thank you for all your information provided...I just rec'd email today and without this info...I might have checked into it.  Thank you!!!

I get probably 5 of these every week--and to my work email no less. I've notified our IT group and have blocked them so that they now go into a spam folder. It is still very annoying and disturbing.

Same here :)

Amazing happy what... A sight.

In what language are you trying to converse?  It's not English, is it?

We're all going to be rich! I got this email this morning. I about choked on my donut from instant laughter.
To know that a scammer put forth the effort to type up something like this and honestly believe others will fall for it without being half brain dead is the true punch line! So, without further ado, the notorious "Fax from Halifax".

I started getting emails from MyLife out of the blue. It's supposedly a "profile view alert", and they keep saying that "Jeff - Someone pulled your background report" the thing is I'm not Jeff but I've been getting other spam emails recently addressed to Jeff (ones that are clearly fake like "Blue Apron partner" etc). Which is really weird, makes me wonder what's going on with that. But within the email from MyLife it says my correct name and info like age, DOB, family members, and address. It asked me to confirm if it was me by clicking on the link (no way am I doing that!) to find out the 11 people that have searched for me - there's a little disclaimer that if I click the link I agree to their User Terms and Privacy Policy. And below that it says, "Unsubscribe Here from our Promotional Mailings". What I can gather from what other people are saying about MyLife and these types of emails is that this is just their way of marketing their website and probably no one actually did a background check on me. No one should believe what that site says, they're known to lie about a lot of stuff. They had a lot of wrong info about me such as how much I may be making, and some of the email addresses they had for me. I couldn't see the whole email addresses but the domains they showed such as comcast. I never had a comcast email address. I've tried having my info removed from that site years ago but they lied saying they can't do it. If you google them, you'll find complaints saying the same thing. They can remove it, they just lie about it. I can't believe this company is still in business with what they do.

NO ! You didn't ! Haven't you seen the news reports and read comments. Never open or respond or click on any links from anyone that is not a regular contact.
