Did anyone get a strange email yesterday from ACD Systems? I deleted it so I can't copyit here, sorry. But it said I had signed up for their newsletter and wanted me to click a link to confirm it. There was a link which said I could confirm my sign up details so because I was curious, I copied and pasted that into my browser and it had my first name and email address,, but it said I had signed up at 2.42 pm,, I don't know whether that was GMT or EST but either wauy, I wasn't even at home at either time.

At first I thought it was from ACDC,,, but then reaised it wasn't,, never heard of this company at all,, has anyone else?

Hi Sonia
That's it exactly! I didn't click it, just copied and pasted the middle link into my browser. I think it was phishing but it was a little freaky how they gave my name and email and the supposed time I signed up,, had me wondering where I had been and what I was doing all day!
Good idea to make people aware of it anyway, thanks for posting it

Hi,
ACD Systems, Inc is the name of the company that creates the products called ACDSee. But they tend to go by ACDSee also.

Connie is going to notify ACDSee about those emails. I agree they just don't appear legitimate especially if you haven't just subscribed to their newsletter. In the meantime, do not give any information if you click on the links and be suspicious. Even better don't click on the links. That is the best way to save your computer/personal info from sabotage/theft/etc.
