The Edge is a premium mid-size crossover SUV manufactured by Ford. It made its debut in 2006 at The North American Auto Show. It started its production from the fall of 2006 as a 2007 model. As a crossover vehicle, it is known to bridge the gaps between minivans and sport utility vehicles.
Lately, Ford has been informed by consumers that they are receiving e-mails from Ford stating that they have won a "Ford Edge Jeep". As response, Ford states that these notifications are not coming from Ford Motor Company. It appears to be a scam so that they guilty ones can obtain personal information from unsuspecting consumers. It attempts to invite the victims to respond to the e-mail and aims to get its financial information such as credit card number in order for them to make it easier to somehow hack the account. This strategy is a form of “phishing”- the practice of luring unsuspecting Internet users to a fake Web site by using authentic-looking email with the real organization's logo, in an attempt to steal passwords, financial or personal information, or introduce a virus attack.
Ford further states that they are not affiliated in any way with e-mails, letters of programs related to Ford Edge Jeep lottery drawings. Also they do not permit any company or person to use its trademark for any counterfeit activity such as this.
In order not to be fooled by a suspected scam message, it is advised to check the spelling or grammatical errors in the message; check the improper use of company trademarks and be careful not to spread out any financial account number that you have.
