The very first think I look at if I get any half sus email is the address it came from. Some are very bizarre but more importantly are clearly not from the company the poster claims to be!

Volvo gone. Replaced by new MG ZS Exclusive. Now a 2023 Mazda CX 5 Takumi. But still not towing.

Please add, and not replying to dodgy communications

JC’s comment about “ must reply today” was just an extract from the scam post he’d received. Doesn’t mean he has any intention of replying to the scam.

If you reply then they know the email address is active. The harvest email addresses and sell the email address onto other scammers.

We got that one. Deleted it.

If the email is delivered and not opened nor replied to it's known to be valid.

Many email addresses are gathered from on line sites that have been hacked.

True, but more than likely you will not know it is a scam message until you open the email?

I can usually tell by who sent it and what the subject is.

This morning I got a spam email about re-registering my Domain Name. Since I know who I do that with and know they don't send emails from an odd address and odd subject content like Urgent it went straight in the bin.

Just look at the odd email address in the OP's post.

We also got one like JC but it was deleted

Seems the spammers don't like me as cannot recall when last I had a spam message?

I am really sorry, but I simply cannot understand why anyone would get taken in by this kind of thing!

It is SO obviously a ridiculous “spam” to not even consider reading it, let alone posting it. Sorry. 🤷
