Another phishing scam that cuts right to the chase involves a free gift via Aces’ “Loyalty Program”. To be honest I’ve never shopped at ace and certainly not enough to be considered “Loyal”
Phishing attempt? This link is in an email I got saying I won a tool set from Ace Hardware.

How to report phishing!
I got this website from my friend who shared with me
on the topic of this web site and now this time I am visiting this web page and reading very
informative articles here.
~~~ Ace Hardware ~~~
The above is an email address of a phishing scam for winning a dewalt Drill and impact driver. I was looking for an address for reporting this and forwarding the email directly to Ace Hardware, but no luck.
Anyway, that is why I am forwarding this to you here.
I received a question request from Ace Hardware on a new list of things I have a choice of by answering a few questions It looked like your usual adds on sale things so I answered them they wanted a correction on my credit card on aces files and gave me the last 4 numbers of my card but they had my name spelled wrong but had mose of the info I had turned into Ace a long time ago it is a bad deal makes me nervous about how much they got from Ace
Do you mind if I quote a few of your articles as long as I provide
credit and sources back to your blog? My blog site is in the exact same area of interest as yours and my visitors would definitely benefit from some of the information you present here.
Please let me know if this okay with you. Thank you!
Laura, As long as you credit the website, We have no issue with this.
Extremely authentic looking email representing Ace website images for survey and deWalt tool set but phish was link at the top to “confirm receipt”……
Ace doesn’t provide place to forward these scams so just posting here FYI.
Please send to: https://www.acehardware.com/customer-service?page=contact-us
I’ve been receiving plenty of e-mails stating that I’m a winner of plenty of power tools just like everyone else on this platform and being that you don’t have an e-mail for us to forward these types of e-mail, which are truly annoying. This is one of e-mail address stating that I’m a winner. Crock of BS

Note: There was no RAW .eml (so no IP address of sender). I don’t know how they accomplish that!
I got a “your package could not be delivered” email which is obvious phishing. Where shall I forward it

I have received several of these phishing and smishing emails and texts. Ace Hardware should also have a site for forwarding these scams so Ace’s computer people can try to put a stop once they know who the emails are coming from. The onus should not be entirely on the person receiving it. Just sayin’.
