はじめに
さっき家に帰ったら、SoftLayerから購入したドメインに対して詐欺メールが来ていました。日本語で書かれていたら引っかからない人でも、英語で書かれているとちょっとドキっとして何かしないといけないの？って思う人がいるかもしれません。というので、あまり技術的な話しではないかもしれませんが、参考のためにたった今、私に届いた詐欺メールを紹介しようと思います。

まぁ、この手のものはイタチゴッコなのかもしれませんが、よくやるわ。。。と思いつつ、参考のために全文載せておきます。
SoftLayer経由で買ったものより高い金額を請求していますね。

終わりに
怪しいな！って思うものは、実際に振り込む前にTicketなどを使って問い合わせをして下さい。SoftLayerと直接契約している方はSoftLayerから、代理店と契約している方は代理店から請求書が来ます。知らない人からお金の請求とか振込み依頼が来ることはありません。
こういうメールはspamメールとして削除してしまいましょう。
