Scam Emails

[Arrods]

In my junk folder I get scam emails about parcel deliveries which I report.

I also get emails, supposedly from the US, indicating I've won a power drill, microwave etc. There are also 'US' emails offering me double glazing, life assurance, gutter guards, motor insurance cover etc.

I just delete them all. But, are they ALL scams?

Course they are

Fair enough barry1010 - but I'm just not sure how a gutter guard company can scam me unless I pay up front/disclose financial details. That said, I know some scammers do try to get responses/request to unsubscribe just to confirm the email account is active.

I'm often tempted to ask them to swing by and measure my house to provide an estimate.

Keep and eye out for the ones from ex Nigerian Finance ministers, they get through a lot of Finance ministers in Nigeria!

If you haven't ordered it or entered a competition for it then it's a scam.

Maybe change your email address and just tell your friends?

offers of gutter guards sound like ordinary ads rather than scams. I get offers from Amazon every day, and I just bin them (except once when they had a book I wanted for 99p).
