Beware of SPAM/Phishing Emails and Don't Click on Links

Over the last several weeks, we have seen numerous reports of spam/phishing emails that appear to come from olleux. These emails are not legitimate, olleux.io will never spam nor reach you with any closely suspicious looking mail address,(.com, .us, .org, etc) and we strongly encourage you to avoid selecting links or responding in any way. The primary purpose of these unsolicited messages is to extract personal information from unknowing consumers. As your Internet service provider, we have an existing business relationship with you, our customers, and we also have the account information we need. There is no reason to re-acquire that info–when in doubt, delete it or call olleux.io Customer Center at 1-864-409-9499 if you have any questions about this.

There are additional ways to further limit your exposure to SPAM/Phishing emails. See these important tips!

Use an Email Filter - Check your email account to see if it provides a tool to filter out potential spam or to channel spam into a bulk email folder. We offer olleux Internet Guardian to residential users, which detects and removes viruses, spyware and malicious threats from your computer, email, instant messages and downloads. It also secures your home network with a personal firewall and WiFi patrol, among other protections. Call us to learn more.

Limit Your Exposure - Try not to display your email address in public. 

Choose a Unique Email Address - Your choice of  email addresses may affect the amount of spam you receive. 

Reduce Spam for Everyone–Don’t Let Spammers Use Your Computer - Hackers and spammers troll the internet looking for computers that aren’t protected by up-to-date security software. 

Use good computer security practices and disconnect from the internet when you’re away from your computer. Hackers can’t get to your computer when it’s not connected to the internet.

Be cautious about opening any attachments or downloading files
