Weird Email

[carolegif]

I have had an email from a Michael Langley-Smith asking me to email him back if I received it. I’ve never heard of him! I trashed it. Now I have received another one! Have any of you had anything like this?

Yup, all the time - bin them.

The email me back is to confirm your email is valid and than the scam can commence. Usually.

Right click on it, click on junk, then block sender.

I have always thoght it was a push-scam
because by answering, you were intiating it

whilst I am at it
false TV licence reminders are on the go!

[youngmafbog]

Correct PP, as I said above.

[Peter Pedant]

that you are correct- ---- this is AB after all !

I’ve had someone emailing me for weeks desperate to give me the £20,000000 I’ve apparently inherited. Each time I block them they send another with a slightly different email address. Omg - maybe it’s true!

[Peter Pedant]

and THEN you can move from Crystal bee to Diamond Bee
what a chance !

I sometimes get this kind of email from a woman whom I've never heard of. I just ignore the emails. I have tried to find the woman by doing a general search, but no luck.

I have not had one such as him, but i am trashing scam emails a lot, some are clever in pretending to be my utility companies and some are poor quality with errors and mistakes.

Beware: Sometimes the mistakes are deliberate, trying to provoke a response from you.
