We have become aware of fraudulent emails being sent to businesses and clients by someone impersonating John Sheahan and Egg Design.
The individual is using Gmail addresses that include the Egg Design name and has copied information from our website, including our branding, contact details and email signature, in an attempt to make these emails appear genuine.
These emails are not from Egg Design.
How to identify a genuine Egg Design email
All genuine business emails from Egg Design are sent from an official @eggdesign.ie email address.
We do not use Gmail addresses to contact clients about website services, hosting, domain renewals, invoices or payments.
If you receive an email claiming to be from John or Egg Design from a Gmail address, including addresses containing words such as “john” or “eggdesign”, please treat it as fraudulent.
What to do if you receive one
Please:
- Do not reply to the email
- Do not click any links or open attachments
- Do not make any payment
- Do not provide passwords, login details or other sensitive information
- Forward the email to us so that we can include it with our ongoing reports
If you have already made a payment or provided financial information, please contact your bank immediately.
Not sure if an email is genuine?
If you receive an unexpected email regarding your website, hosting, domain name, invoice or payment and you’re unsure whether it came from us, contact Egg Design directly using the details published on this website.
Do not use contact details or telephone numbers contained within the suspicious email itself.
We are actively reporting these impersonation attempts to the relevant service providers and An Garda Síochána.
A simple rule to remember
If an email claiming to be from Egg Design comes from a Gmail address, it isn’t us.
Thank you to the clients who have already alerted us to these fraudulent emails.
John Sheahan
