    Default Possible spam?

    Just got this email a few minutes ago...

    Dear ____

    Someone has tried to log into your account on TorontoMazda3 with an incorrect password at least 5 times. This person has been prevented from attempting to login to your account for the next 15 minutes.

    The person trying to log into your account had the following IP address: 91.219.236.218

    All the best,
    TorontoMazda3

    Doubt it, unless it came with a "click here to change your password link". we've had people hacking in before. Check the mail header to confirm it really came from TM3. Post it here, or forward it to a mod if you don't know how do do that. You might want to update your password to something like 10 random digits and symbols, just in case........

    I also got the same thing. Checked the IP and it was apparently from a tor exit node, making me believe someone was actually trying to mask their ip and actually get into some accounts

    Weird..
