Tips for Detection

  • This phishing email is difficult to spot since it appears to come from a @docusign[.]net email address. If you are not expecting to receive a message for eSignature or you do not recognize the person or company, err on the side of caution.
  • The link in the email went to a page on docusign[.]siesafe[.]com. Remember, the last part of the website before .com is where the website is actually hosted. Even though “docusign” appears in the URL, if it is docusign.someotherwebsite.com instead of ending with docusign.com, that should be suspicious.
  • With DocuSign, avoid fake links by going directly to docusign.com and using the unique security code that will be in legitimate DocuSign notification emails. More tips on avoiding DocuSign phishing emails: https://www.docusign.com/trust/security/incident-reporting.

Good afternoon [username],

I hope you’re doing well. I’m attaching the renewal quotes for your Commercial General Liability and Excess Liability policies to review. There is a significant increase from last year; this is due to the payroll exposure increased by 89.3% as confirmed by you. Please let me know if you have any questions or changes to make. In order to issue the policies we will need the following items back:

  1. Signed quote/acceptance – attached
  2. Payment Details

Once we have all of these items we can request the policies be issued.

Thank you for the opportunity to renew your business!
