Exclamation Uh... WeSellCarParts.com Hacked?

Anyone else get this email?

Hello dear customer,

First of all, WeSellCarParts thanks you for buying car parts from us.
To improve our services our team is making a survey to find out how old our customers are.
For this survey, we need you to tell us your birth date and the last six digits of your SSN in the following format:

DOB: mm-dd-yyyy
SSN: XXX-00-0000

The first 10 customers who respond to this survey will receive a $100 voucher code for shopping on our website. We expect your reply.

Thank you for your understanding and have a nice day!
Uh... helllllllll no. That just screams scam to me. Anyone else?

i didn't get that email. I have bought S pipe from them in the past. Anything asking for DOB and SS # is sure a scam.

Good evening,

This afternoon an email was sent out to a few of our customers looking as if it was from us requesting confidential information. This email was not from wesellcarparts.com. Our email database had been compromised and an email was sent out. Please ignore this email. Your privacy is important to wesellcarparts.com. We are working diligently to ensure that our customer information is secure. We have taken many measures and over the coming days will take additional measures. To whomever has replied – we noticed the compromise immediately and took immediate action to clear it up. Any responses were immediately deleted from our servers.

As an appreciation for your continued business, we are offering $10.00 off any future order over $100.00. This discount can be used through December 31, 2010.

If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Thank you for your continued business and for shopping with WeSellCarParts!

Dan Haddle

I knew it was a scam cause no busniess should need part of your SSN or your DOB for any reason espicially over the internet.....even if it was legit,i wouldn't give out that info to begin with.....cause you just never know whos on the other end.....but glad it was taking care of
