Default SCAM Honda Site Alert.

I received a post card in the US mail today. It was addressed to me and congratulated me on the 1 year ownership of my Honda. The postcard then suggest that I "continue the journey" by visiting HondaInformationCenter.com. There is a legit Honda Information Center: it is HondaInfoCenter.com. This alternative/scam link redirects the user to another site depending upon the browser that you are using and will either pop-up a virus alert and attempt to get you to run an program, or it will attempt to install an add-in in Firefox. The site also contains a counter, so after a number of repeat visits, it will redirect the user to nissanusa.com

I don't know how they got my personal information, but I reported this to Honda, DomainsByProxy, GoDaddy, & USPS.

FYI

Microsoft Edge Redirect goes to: https://fright12ening-cr34eep.xyz attempts to spoof McAfee Total Security
