Example: Fake Message Sent via PurvX Messaging
Here's an example of a scam message users have reported receiving via the PurvX internal messaging system:
Why this is clearly a scam:
-
PurvX does not use the messaging system for official communication
Any message asking you to verify your account, confirm identity, or click a link is not from us. -
The sender name is misleading
While this one says "Colara L", scammers often use names like PurvX Support, Customer S, or PurvX S to mimic official communication. -
The link is fraudulent
It contains "purvx" to trick users, but it’s hosted on a scam domain (purvx.id-order.live
) which is not affiliated with PurvX. -
There’s a false sense of urgency
Claims like “You have 24 hours or your profile will be restricted” are a common pressure tactic used in phishing scams.
⚠️ Never click on any links sent via the messaging system. If you're unsure, contact support@purvx.com before taking any action.
