I just received and email from them. (It may not be them, but a scam)

Here is the message text from the email:

Dear Customer,

During this week we have problems with our Customers DataBase
& we might loss some of our Customers information. So we ask
you to fill this form:
form


Best regards,
Kaypro Support



This could be a scam! Do not ever follow a link and give your credit card number, especially on an unsecured form like that!

ps, they couldn't even spell correctly!

Hehe, most definitely is. Check it out. The link you gave is to kaypro.net. When you click HOME, it goes it kaypro.com...interesting. Checking out some info on networksolutions, I think it's time to call the FBI...

Blank? That wastes no space. There doesn't seem to be a limit on the text boxes, put 5000 characters in each, and send that 5000 times. 325 MB of crap! :)

I've done business with the real Kaypro, and found them to be a decent company.

I can't log into their site either. I wonder if they got hacked. How would this scammer know I was a customer of theirs?
