Phishing Emails from Docusign.net Domain


Forum|alt.badge.img+2

I'm suddenly getting 3-5 phishing emails a week from the docusign.net domain and none of the standard reporting email addresses like abuse@ or admin@ work. They reject my email, and I can’t find any reporting information on their FAQ page.  I guess I'm left with the choice of blocking the domain? Why do they make is difficult to contact support or report phishing? Keeping customers at arms length is bad practice. Edit:  Spam@docusign.com.  What a waste of my time finding that.  Edit 2:  Spam@… blocked my email as spam.  This is BS. Going to block the domain on the server.

Not much.  I’ve already been to the 1st link and my email was rejected as spam. 2d, no.  I have my own mail server and good spam filtering.  DocuSign either has a problem with phishers using their service, or well spoofed mail headers in addition to making it cumbersome to report.

I’ve been getting those as well, and like you, I’m managing the issue. Just got this one today:

 

Phishing Email

 

from dse AT eumail DOT docusign DOT net   <=== Dead giveaway that it’s a scam

Embedded link in the button

 

https://eu DOT docusign DOT net/Signing/EmailStart.aspx?a=6ad21c0b-3476-4bf2-a973-fd59e76ccad8&acct=af1c29b3-e43c-4f33-a8c1-9a84e59e528f&er=a9b23abe-d970-4430-8305-6616fd119e0b

Event the “Report this email” link points to the Dot net domain.

Not really sure where to report fraud at DocuSign though.

I have exactly the same problem today. Is docusign.net legit or not? Can someone from Docusign give a clear answer?

@userPNAJ 

 

You may need to expand a bit more on your question - and maybe create a new post rather than adding onto the end of a ‘solved’ post. 

What is the problem you’re having? Did you get an email to sign something? If you have a DocuSign account, you can sign into your account and see if there are any documents waiting (rather than follow a suspicious link). Or you could contact the sender and ask if have sent you something.

 

good luck

On 2/18  I was asked to use DocuSign to sign a document with my real estate agent. One day after that on 2/19, I received three emails from domain docusign.net and title as “PayPal Customer Care via DocuSign” . These email claim that my PayPal account was used to purchase crypto currencies from Coinbase and clearly these are scams. I don’t understand how this can happen just after my using DocuSign and it raises my concern about security of your service. The most confusing part is that the sender’s domain is docusign.net.

I had the same exact thing happen to me. I got an email yesterday about unauthorized activity on my pay pal account. I don’t use pay pal  anymore. The email address I was to respond to is  dse_NA4@docusign.net . I obviously I didn’t click the link but the the domain name is concerning
