This one was sent to me today. Now, back in the day I used Dashlane, but I deleted that account years ago. That was my first clue that this was a scam. Now, let’s explore this further.
This one has a few other easy ways to see that it’s a scam. The first is the email address it was sent from. Notice, the sender is NOT Dashlane.
The second comes when you hover over the action button:
Again, nothing to do with Dashlane.
There’s no way to know if the scammers “know” I had a Dashlane account due a data breach which has been dumped on the dark web, or is just a random guess. They usually send these sorts of messages out by the thousands: a purely numbers game. But it doesn’t matter. The investment from the criminal is minimal, so they only need a few clicks to make this payoff.
In the end, be careful out there.
I wonder, when we report ‘Spam’ if Google et al create a block just for our individual account or if they block the offending account. Either way, there must be billions of blocks.
