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! The links don't seem to work on the form either. This looks very similar to the paypal scam.

That's bad...I hope no one would ever fall for something like that...good spot, compuwiz1.

Isn't the real site KayPro.com? That has a good rating at resellerratings.com...

Kaypro.com seems to be mysteriously down too...

That kaypro.net seems somewhat fishy...

Yep, really fishy. Kaypro is based in CA, not IL. :Q

The page on the link looks like their website, though.

IF i were to wager a guess i'd say it's a scam.

Watch out peeps.
