I notified the real funeral home about this low-life with the following note-
"Someone is using your funeral homes good name and even colors as a phishing scheme to folks who might have recently lost a loved one. They even copied the copyright/web design by Frazer Consultants data.
This is serious, and just letting you know, and giving you a heads up, because you may be getting calls regarding it.
I did a screenshot of their notice, which I am going to post on my website."

There was a link attached which I didn't add because it can only be trouble. If someone wants it, I'll send it to you, and it starts out with:

I got the exact same notice today, but I have had no one pass that was close to me, so did some investigation and found your website. You're right these are scum dogs, and they need to get a life..
ReplyDeleteI got the same fake funeral notice from the same dirtbags. I have had no one pass recently that was a close friend or relative, so I did some investigating, and found your identical notification.
ReplyDeleteThanks for putting this out there. I just received this, and it was nice to be able to discount it without clicking on the link! I appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this! The garbage email origination is my usual tipoff:
ReplyDeletejimmyo@emailc21.com
When it's not related to the business listed I know it's a scam.
This was not funny. My father just passed away a few days ago and could not be buried due to the weather. I thought he was being transferred o another funeral home. These people deserve Karma with NO lube
ReplyDeletei got the same thing,but ive had nobody i know pass, so got a little worried, looking at the properties of the email, it is from mbuchan@robertschevrolet.net
ReplyDeleteto many roberts chevrolet to look for this person, but yes, what a $^Y**^%...Glad i found this page...
I got this today too. Thanks for posting & emailing Eubank.
ReplyDeleteYeah, these guys are scum.
ReplyDeleteCopy the URL in the spam, and paste it into the google phishing site:
https://www.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/
Received it too. What a load of crap.
ReplyDeleteSame here. My uncle has been very ill. Thanks again. Karma!

Thanks for the post. I also got this email this morning. An obvious clue that something was "up" is that the date is incorrect. January 17th is on Friday this year!

Received this same email this morning at work. How low can people go.
ReplyDeleteI believe that this email is a phishing scam related to the recent Target store data theft. I wish Target would set up a place to forward things like this so they can be investigated. I have received another email from a fake energy company that I think is related to Target too.
ReplyDeleteI have to disagree about your Target related theory. I got one of these emails too, and I do so at Target often, but I haven't had a bank account in over a year and a half so they're is no way, as a cash paying customer that these scam lovers got my email from the Target data hack. People just suck and there is no one to blame but the people who did this awful scam.
DeleteActually, I was affected by the target hack and all the sudden started receiving this email and others like it. So most likely that's how they got my email address as well. Tho I am sure that is not their only source.
Deletenice that they change up the name of the "receptionist" each time. mine said:
ReplyDelete"Best wishes and prayers,

scum of the earth.
appalling!
I got the same notice. Fortunately, it arrived in my spam mail or I might not have been as wary of it. I also noticed that it didn't name the person who had supposedly passed (a big red flag!) nor the city and state of the funeral home. Are we all notifying the funeral home or just the person who launched this page?
ReplyDeleteJoy & light to all EXCEPT the dirtbag spammers!
Postscript: They're not being that picky so as to choose people who have recently lost some one. I haven't lost a friend or family member in the last 10 years. They've probably just bought a spammer's mailing list and are spamming folks across the board.
ReplyDeleteI am a director at the real Eubank Funeral Home in Canton Texas. I can assure you we do not send out service invitations. We only send a email if you subscribe to our webpage that notifies you we have added a new obituary. I am very sorry to everyone who has received this. I hope we are able to find this person and punish him/her to the extent of the law.
ReplyDeleteNo body commented these came from a Toyota dealer!!!!!!
ReplyDeletecame from Rodland Toyota Everett Wa.
ReplyDeleteWe received the same notice today. It was particularly upsetting because we just lost two elderly parents and a third is 90 and seriously ill in a nursing home out of state.
ReplyDeleteThey are disgusting, and immoral to use such a format to advertised.
I received one today too. Mine was signed
ReplyDeleteBest wishes and prayers,
Funeral home receptionist,
Daniel Paul
Scumbags!
I just got one today as well which is lame because i actually did have a friend that passed away today
ReplyDeletesame here, and the email @ was from skihi.com, a Fort Worth, TX mechanical contractor email - interesting, since we are in CT.
ReplyDeleteAnyone know what the phishing was for? I got this this morning, had recently lost someone and opened the link on my iPhone. I got an no URL error message. I hope this means my phone was not infected, but can't tell. Any advice would be appreciated...
ReplyDeleteGot one too. Looked phony, no address, no name of the departed. Didn't click the link.
ReplyDeleteI received this email as well, I attended a funeral today (at 11:00am) and was tempted to open it up...until I noticed the error with the date...so I googled same and wound up here...thanks for the heads up!
ReplyDeleteI received this today, as well, but did not open it. I did a quick search and found this blog. Thanks for the heads up.
ReplyDeleteIf you received this email, you should report/forward it to the FTC.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0003-phishing#report phishing emails
It's heinous and disgusting to send such a thing.
I feel so bad for the people that said they actually just lost someone close to them and then got this.
I just received this as well. The email looked suspicious so I didn't open. I have relatives near Eubank, Kentucky so I did a search just to check. Fake emails are getting to be a real problem and can be dangerous if opened. I put them on a blocked list and eventually a particular strain will cease. Unfortunately they are always replaced by others. The only way to prevent them is to change email address often. That is terribly inconvenient but works at least for a while. So many vendors sell email lists and we end up paying a high price for their greed.
ReplyDeleteI JUST received this email at 12:01 AM so that was suspicious to start. I also don't know anyone in Texas. I googled the name and found this link. Thanks. I've reported them and I suggest anyone else that gets this email reports them as well.
ReplyDeleteI looked at the real Eubank Funeral Home's website and they have a message up about the spam. I don't know if they've reported it or not.
ReplyDeleteI just got this same email. I thought for a minute or two it could be someone I knew, and that wasn't humorous at all. I didn't click on the link until I did some checking, and realized it was spam, but for a moment I thought a friend had passed.
ReplyDeleteI'm passing this along to the funeral home and to my State Attorney General. Not nice at all.
You are encouraged to forward the spam email to the federal government at - spam@uce.gov Also send it to your ISP provider at their webmaster address so they can try to track the source. Don't open the email as you know.
ReplyDeleteYep, I got the same email this morning and like the rest of you I didn't know of anyone passing. I Googled "email from eubanks funeral home" and found this blog.Wow, the nerve of some people!
ReplyDeleteI also got it and lost two people in our families last week. This is cruel. I of course googled the funeral home and know it has nothing to do with our losses. I hope they get in trouble.
ReplyDeleteI got the exact thing today except that the name was changed to Arnav Gregory.
ReplyDeleteWhat a bunch of scum.
Just got this too. There is a scumbag Scott Klein here in Brooklyn who would not be above sending garbage like this.
ReplyDeleteScum to scum... wonder if they are related?
I got it today, thanks for posting this so that it was easy to see it was fake. I am notifying our security team at our work and reporting this.

Got the same fake email supposedly from a funeral home as well as a fake energy email saying I owed over $500 for electric and gas. I never used a credit card at Target (always pay cash) so I don't think it is related to the theft of credit card info for target purchases. But this is sinking really low to send one out pretending to be from a funeral home.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand this. Am I to believe there is nothing that can be done to the parties sending this (possibly) very cruel email. Surely the source is traceable. Is there no regulation violated here?? Can any one enlighten on this???
ReplyDeleteAnonymous
I received this funeral announcement email and was initially terrified to read further. I am of the age where many of my friends and relatives are starting to pass on. Even though it was suspicious with no name of the deceased and no address of the facility, emotion got the best of me and I clicked on the link on my Blackberry. Fortunately I received a message that the site was not available. Whoever is responsible for these types of scams should be fed to ravenous dogs after being smeared with hamburger meat.
ReplyDeletethanks for your post I did have someone very close to me die and I thought it was about him. These people are sick I really know they will get caught some day.
ReplyDeleteappalling
I just got one too. Glad I found this. What a scam! It was from a work email address so I called them and left a message. Their email was hijacked. Anyway do not click These guys are punks.
ReplyDeleteIf you hold your mouse over the name on the email it is iancrawford@chaselegal.com.....I hope that helps and that you find this sleazebag to prosecute him
ReplyDeleteThe name of the receptionist on mine was Richard Koch. The date did give it away, that and the fact I know no one in Texas.
ReplyDeleteGot the same email! It made me wonder for a minute because my friends mom just died! Then I looked this up. How crappy!
ReplyDeletePS - My email was from paul@analyticstress.com
ReplyDeleteI just received this and my father did pass away a few days ago. I would like a few minutes alone with the people responsible for this distasteful act.....
ReplyDeleteThe IP address traces to Russia!
ReplyDeleteI got this today, a few hours after my aunt passed away. How the hell does that happen? Scum of the earth!
ReplyDeleteI got the same one. They're pretty stupid if they're going to tell me about a memorial occurring at 11:00, but send it out at 5:00 pm. I hope there's a way they can be caught!
ReplyDeleteI just got it. Mine was from imports@class-ic.com. And it arrived kind of late for an 11 am funeral. People who do this are lower than scum.
ReplyDeleteOh... And they have a HUGE bank of receptionists! My notice came with this...Funeral home receptionist,
ReplyDeleteAngel Dillon
Same post came to me - Jan 17th - receptionist is Suraj Mckinney. What a bunch of dirtbags.
ReplyDeleteMy receptionist is Jack Coleman and the sender's address was sue@selfcatercornwall.co.UK. I also got the fake bill from PG&E saying I owed over $500!! I do shop at Target so I wonder if they got my email from my use of the Target Cartwheel app.
ReplyDeleteThe dirt bags get your names when you answer pop ups or questionnaires on the Internet. the thing to do is have an alias for you internet address and use it for questionable responses. this way if you get spammed you can delete it and make a new one without changing your primary address.
ReplyDeleteI just got this today as well. This is cruel for those who just lost a friend like me. I knew the family was getting to have the somethig, but when I saw this, I was upset that I missed it! I just thought it was a typo with the date!! But then I quickly realized, dummy! Its in your junk mail..think, think, think! Glad I saw these posts.
ReplyDeletei cant beleve somebody be so hartless mean. i got this message and opened it because it looked totally real. im scarred because a viruses is now on my computer. is this gonna cost me $$$ to fix? i wish people wouldent send those mean emails out and reck up are computer.i can only pray for hartless people to change there evil ways.
ReplyDeletereceived this notice today, and figured it must be scam. Thanks for the corroboration.

I also just got the exact same one. Is there a way to shut them down?
ReplyDeleteI have received three of these to date, from two separate "funeral homes". They read nearly the same. What a lousy thing to do IF you have any humanness...they apparently do not have any, nor do they have any shame. One can only hope that they will feel the range of emotions that they have put upon the recipients of these emails....you sow what you reap.
ReplyDeleteI did a google search for "condolence letter" earlier this week and received this email today with "condolence letter" as the subject. Coincidence?
ReplyDeleteI also got one of these today. The horrible thing is that 3 people I know have passed away this week - they made it sound like the funeral home was in the next town over from me so that was lame as well - I was weary from the start so did research and did not click on the link.
ReplyDeleteWe got the same message today, on the 19th. I didn't recognize the name of the funeral home, then realized the date and day of the week were incorrect so did a search for the name of the funeral home and found you blog. Thanks for posting. I will post the message that came to us. It is signed by the name of a person we "could" know. These scammers design messages to the persons they send them to. I, too hope they are caught and punished! See following:

I received the same email today. I just learned of a relative (whom I'd never had the chance to meet) die in a fire a few days ago and I've been waiting to hear some/any info about the funeral.. What a coincidence.. Not cool.. Thanks for letting us know this is a fraud email.
ReplyDeleteI too have been receiving this email for the past 3 days. Knew it was not for real, who sends funeral invitations by email anyway? I feel bad for the company that got hacked. Always wonder how the scum gets our email addresses?26435452

same email today.(Jan 27) I did lose a dear friend week ago, but her service was this past Saturday and in the town she lived in. I decided to research to see if the funeral home existed. It just has spam written all over it, but how many people might be so broken hearted that they respond? Thank you for contacting the funeral home and letting them know!
ReplyDeleteReceived the 'notice' today. Didn't fall for it. But mine says anthony marks receptionist. I believe it is another phishing expedition. I believe its from nigeria. I've bern getting friend requests from ppl.from nigeria. Um no. I enjoy the BNA bank of nigeria and my 10.5mill$ not this girl. I won't fall for these crazies.
ReplyDeleteJust a thot. When u go into differeny stores some ask for ur zip code and others ask if you'd like to be on their email list. Target neiman marcus macys ocean state among others ask for it. We have become numbers and emails to them!!
ReplyDeleteSame one and it could be out of Elmore Toyota in Garden Grove Cal. We got an ad from them in mail with a very strange personal return address too. Had a friend from san diego die and his relatives were from Texas or i would never have chased this email. They sent two after i tried to trace it! Hope casket ghosts eat their tongues and fingers and eyes!
ReplyDeleteThanks for everyone's concern.
ReplyDeleteThese evil folks have reached a new low, but to be honest, I think they are capable of far worst. They want your hard earned money, and will try and achieve that goal through any method, even this funeral home scam.
They are bastards, and need to be taken out, metaphorically of course, not assassinated, but they need to do hard time in prison, in a nice Russian Gulag.

Looks like Eubanks is the victim of a hack.
first of all dying is a "PRECEDENTED EVENT" so if you opened this.. shame on you
ReplyDeleteGot the Eubank notice today. This is disgusting.
ReplyDeleteIt's an obvious hoax, almost a laughable one except that they are hurting a real live business and lots of real live people.
mine came from
whippersnappersnh.com
which looks to be a pub in New Hampshire.
Received it this morning. We had our family dog cremated three days ago and thought they were notifying us, but thought it looked phishy. So we didn't click on the link.
ReplyDeleteAnd mine was signed by " Mason Mack." Dirtbags=no click.
ReplyDeleteYes what a bunch jerks whoever is doing this cap, I got one the other day it said SME as all of you , except diff dates mine Feb 9th 2014 and receptionist name is mason berg , the internet is getting very bad for things like the , i got another type of email from the Oklahoma clerk of courts for a court date coming up and I live in Florida and never been to Oklahoma I looked that one up and its a scam also ,
