Email Scam Probably.

[Palustris]

Had an email this morning, not opened, but the title says "Your Cash transfer request was received".
Now so one has made a request for Cash and this is obviously a Scam. What we want to know is, if there is anyway we can open the Email without indicating to the sender that we exist?
TIA

That should read no-one has made a request.

I wouldnt open it. They may have asked for a read receipt when you open it.

yes, nobody knows if an email they've sent has been opened. (Well, I don't.) Just don't click on anything in it. Though I don't know why you'd want to - it is such an obvious scam.

[jno]

ah, I stand corrected by grasscarp, I didn't know you could do that.

Delete it!

Yes, you can open it, just don't click on anything in it. If they have asked for a read receipt then you should get the option of not sending one.

To be honest, if you know it doesn't apply to you then just delete it unopened.

Thank-you, have deleted it unread. Will keep an eye on the Bank account (which we always do in any case) to see if any money is paid in.

Just put it in the bin, but before you do, assign to your spam folder. Then, any others similar emails that these crooks send you will go straight into your spam folder and not into your in box.
