identity theft
Dear customers, partners and visitors,
I wish to inform you that an identity theft attempt is currently underway.
Some people are receiving fraudulent emails claiming to be from me or my company Benevolent Marketing , using a similar but incorrect and unofficial address.
These messages may include alerts related to website compliance, accessibility, or requests for urgent action.
I want to reassure you: these emails did not come from me.
❌ Example of a fraudulent address used
The following address has been identified as fraudulent:
Several important differences can be observed:
spelling mistakes in the name
absence of the official domain
use of a non-professional Gmail address
These elements are typical of a phishing attempt or abusive prospecting by impersonating an existing identity.
✅ My official contact details
For all professional communications, I only use the following email addresses:
the contact form via my official websites
I never contact my clients from an address containing errors or a domain unrelated to my business.
🔎 How to recognize a fraudulent email
I urge you to remain vigilant if you receive a message:
creates a sense of urgency or fear
requires swift action without prior context
comes from an approximate address or contains errors
does not correspond to our usual exchanges
If in doubt, do not click on any links and contact me directly.
📩 What to do if you receive this type of email
If you receive a suspicious message:
Do not reply to the sender
do not click on the links
Please forward the email to me for verification.
delete the message
Your vigilance helps to protect the entire community.
❤️ Thank you for your trust
Security and a relationship of trust with my clients are essential to me. I am currently implementing additional measures to limit this type of situation and protect my communications.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.
With all my best wishes,
The real Monique Michel
Founder — Compassionate Marketing
