Email re New Login Device

[MikeO]

Yesterday I got an email from support@irishrailwaymodels.com saying I had logged in on a new device. The information  listed the ne device as  Windows, Chrome and an address in England. I did login yesterday but used the same device as I always do. However the address is completely wrong as I do not live in England.

 

Just wondering if this is a genuine email.

Hard to tell. Maybe send a screenshot or forward the email to support ?

May also want to open a website like https://www.whatismyip.com/ and from there it should provide your public IP address and more importantly, the location of where it has been detected.

Thanks BosKonay and mmie353

Did not think of providing a screen shot

This is the top of the email and a screen shot of the body of the email.

				Its the address that makes me suspicious.   I think I will leave the website link as a last resort.  Hopefully Admin can confirm or not the authenticity of the email. I would think that there should be a record of its issue on the IRM system if it is genuine   MikeO

Email definitely came from here and I can see the Ip change logged. Did you change provider or maybe use the link above to check your ip?

[MikeO]

No the provider is still the same. The only change was changing from Mcafee security to Nortons due to my provider changing to Nortons.

I have not used the link mmie353 provided.

 

Thanks BosKonay. As you have confirmed the email is genuine that is all I need to know.
