who sent the email? im guessing they sent it through ls1tech? does it have their user name?
it sounds VERY fishy to me. I dont think bob would ask for that info over an email. I send him a pm, hes a good guy he will clear it up but please post the user name so we can stop the solicitation

sales@exoticperformanceplus.com is still working - don't send information until you can call them and verify.

Pass the word around, they got hit with a scam.
Before you start bashing how they could have been more secure, if someone wants the information they will get it regardless.

Thank you guys for posting this up. This IS a scam and please disregard it. If we need any information we will call you personally!
And no we would never use a free email for a backup email.

That e-mail is not from us, and they have Exotic spelled wrong. I'm sure this is going to cause a hassle for us, thanks for the warning, and please, nobody respond to it. Bob
