Hi T-Nuts

In january 2012 - I bought a Prologix GPIB interface from an Italian
Seller "sglabs" on the "Bay".

Today i received a mail from the seller

******************** SNIP *************************

I need a favor form you…

Here in Italy is requiring by law…. that for all customers that have
bought something from us, I need to have also birthplace and birthday…

I’m sorry to disturb for this reason, but I need help from you.

Thanks for collaboration
Best regards
******************** SNIP *************************

The mail actually looks quite authentic , Correct name & phone# etc.
But i have never heard of such a request before. And was wondering if any
Italian T-Nut could verify that this request is valid.

It seems a bit strange to me ...

TIA

We will let SgLabs know.

No, Italian law doesn't require DOB or place of birth registering for purchases, I suspect his email has been hi-jacked by someone who's attempting to get into the identity theft business.

I am from Italy, and I can assure you that such info is not required by any Italian law.
Don't give away information that could in the end result in an identity thief...

I receive daily emails form all over the world, alerting me that I won this and that.. etc....
and in order to receive my prizes I have to send them such kind of information,
together with employer name, phone number, etc. etc.

Luckily Mail Washer does all the dirty work for me, and those emails are immediately
put where they belong, i.e. the "round file".... :-)
