I have been made aware that someone is impersonating my business and contacting people using multiple fake Gmail accounts. This individual is not associated with me or my businesses in any way and is attempting to deceive clients by posing as “Deb Carr” and offering fake website, SEO and consultancy services.

Please read the information below carefully to protect yourself.

 

Official Contact Details
My only legitimate email address is:
deb@debcarr.com

 

Any email claiming to be from me that does not come from this address is fraudulent.

 

My official websites are:

• www.debcarr.com

• www.sydneychic.com.au

Fake Email Addresses Being Used
The impersonator has used the following Gmail accounts (and may create more variations):

​

• info.debcarr @ gmail.com

• debcarrwixwebspecialist @ gmail.com

• debcarrnsw @ gmail.com

• Other similar Gmail addresses using my name

If you receive an email from any Gmail address claiming to be “Deb Carr,” it is not me. I do not use any Gmail accounts with my name.

Fake Invoices & Payment Requests

The scammer is also sending fraudulent invoices using the email:

• acewebmasterpro001@gmail.com

 

Payments are being requested under the name:
ABDULQOYYUM IYANDA

 

He is using a payment system called sentz.com to request money.
Do not pay, do not click any links, and do not reply.

​

• Fake SEO “audits”
