Appears to be legit, nothing I can do about it I guess. Anyone else get this email? It was sent to one of my email addresses, but not the one I use for Dodge stuff. Possibly used when I purchased the car.

6. What is “phishing?”

Phishing occurs when bad actors use your contact information to send phishing emails. These emails may appear to come from legitimate sources and attempt to trick you into providing sensitive information.

Common Types of Phishing Attacks
Email Phishing Attacks - Email phishing is the most prevalent type, wherein cybercriminals send out mass emails impersonating reputable organizations. These emails contain carefully crafted messages designed to provoke immediate action from recipients.
Spear Phishing Attacks - These types of attacks target specific individuals or groups rather than mass audiences. Hackers conduct extensive research to personalize messages, making these attacks much harder to detect.
Smishing (SMS Phishing) Attacks - Phishing carried out through text messages (SMS) are called smishing. Cybercriminals send text messages claiming to be from trusted companies or institutions, urging immediate action to resolve an issue like account suspension or unauthorized transactions.
Vishing (Voice Phishing) Attacks - Voice phishing, known as vishing, involves attackers making fraudulent phone calls. Cybercriminals impersonate bank representatives, customer support agents, or government officials to gain trust.
Clone Phishing Attacks - Clone phishing attacks duplicate previously delivered legitimate emails with slight alterations. Attackers replace links and attachments with malicious versions, then resend the cloned email, claiming it’s an updated or corrected version.

7. How can I tell if an email is a phishing attempt?

Watch for:

Urgent or threatening language asking you to take action quickly
Misspellings or grammatical errors
Requests for personal or financial information
Suspicious links or attachments

If you're unsure, do not click anything and contact our dedicated support team at 1‑833‑833‑9981.

8. Will you offer credit monitoring or identity theft protection?

We are not offering credit monitoring. We can help you identify and prevent a phishing attack if your contact information was impacted, which may lead to a phishing attack.
