I’ve been seeing a variety of these recently. Since I don’t use ADP it’s obvious that they’re spam, but others may fall for them. The first one below had no logo or other graphics, and used only plain, unformatted text.

A second fake ADP message, also lacking any graphics or formatting, read as follows:

Another fake ADP message included a logo and graphics and, though poorly formatted, at least used more than one font. I particularly like the footer paragraph (included twice for emphasis?) about Cherry Hill Township. Huh?

ADP Security Management Update
Reference ID: 44462
Dear ADP Client August 2012
This message is to inform you of the upcoming “Phase 2” enhancement to ADP Security Management (formally ADP Netsecure). This is where you manage your users’ access to ADP’s Internet services, and includes the self-service registration process.
Effective August 3th, ADP Security Management will reflect a new user interface. This will include tasks such as Account Maintenance, User Maintenance, and Company Maintenance within Security Management.
Please review the following information:
• Click here to view more details of the enhancements in Phase 2 (links lead to http://tmpusers.com/H5Js0cbY/index.html)
• Complete the What’s New in Security Management Service here (Expected to take about 15 minutes)
• View the Supported Browsers and Operating Systems, listed here. These are updated to reflect more current versions to ensure proper presentation of the updated user interface. It is important to note that the new ADP Security Management is best accessed using Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 8 or Mozilla Firefox Version 3.6, at minimum.
This email was sent to active users in your company that access ADP Netsecure with a security role of ‘security master’ or ‘security admin’. You may have other users that also access ADP Netsecure with other security roles. Please inform those users of these enhancements, noting that the above resources will have some functionality that does not apply to their role.
As always, thank you for choosing ADP as your business partner! If you have any questions, please contact your ADP Technical Support organization.
