Another Scam ??????

[chic0821]

Here we go again. I've been selected for an Amazon gift. I am so blessed. A while back my uncle Luca who I had never knew existed had died in a car crash & left me untold riches. As I'm so wealthy anyway, I could not be bothered collecting it. Anyway, up to date, email from a kind lady at Amazon, giving me a gift, wonder what it is. Noticed at the bottom they are spelling Amazon differently now. Must be a new re branding Copied it in to see if any of you chaps received one or just lucky me

[td] [td]As you may recall that your email was chosen as a winner in our Fall/Winter contest. This promotion has been extended as we haven't been able to contact all finalists until today. Here's a brief description of the contest in case you don't remember participating: It happens that some orders are never completed, returned unopened, or cancelled. This occurs even though our US customers continue to place numerous online orders. Particularly now that energy and cost savings is a priority, not all items are returned to our distribution centers, and a portion of these items is set aside for promotions like this one. Since you were selected as a winner, you can select a amazing free gift from our selection right now! However, we will have to move on to the next finalist if you don't confirm your selection within the next three hours.

I'm now suffering an extreme inferiority complex.
Life's so unfair...

Strange thing, I've never had one of these emails - at least not since I changed my email to

[email protected]

It's nice to know someone does...

@chic0821 - you may want to remove the link from your original post. If someone clicks on it you could be placed on a sucker list and your email will be bombarded with dross.

My business email is being constantly spammed by another business, I’m not even a target audience for them.

I’ve unsubscribed countless times but they, cleverly, unsubscribe me from that employee so the next day I receive more spam from ‘new’ employees.

When I reply to them my email bounces as undeliverable.

Tossers.

Spam emails are the scourge of both business and personal life. Innocently clicking on a link for something you may have an interest in brings a torrent of unwanted mail and its time somebody (Ofcom?) took this spam more seriously. There are anti-spam laws with big fines, but the emails keep coming.

I clear out my Outlook spam folder weekly and its usually in excess of 100 emails from Ukranian beauties wanting to hook up to Blue pills to help me on my hook ups. Casinos,Aldi and Tesco prizes I've won along with fake Sky accounts and McAfee won't leave me alone either. Unsubscribe to the annoying email and you have just confirmed you exist.

Likewise I've stopped unsubscribing as it's obvious that the more unscrupulous spammers just sell your email address on and you get 3 times the amount. I just block them so they get sent to the junk folder and delete, delete on a regular basis.

Spot on. Only ever unsubscribe from mailing lists which you know you signed up to yourself. For everything else mark it as spam or junk in your webmail service and it will learn for the future and protect you and others from similar emails.

Unsubscribing, replying or even clicking on links on emails which you have not signed up for confirms to the sender that [1] it’s a legitimate email address (which increases resale value of your address), [2] that it’s monitored (which increases the value), and [3] it confirms that you will engage will unsolicited emails (which is the holy grail for spammers, hackers and people who exploit personal information).

Must admit, its really good. Slight problem is all the programmes are in Chinese, but it's amazing how quickly you become proficient in Chinese.

"祝你有美好的一天/Zhù nǐ yǒu měihǎo de yìtiān"

According to Google Translate, it means "Wish you have a delightful day".
