    Just a question but have you thought about asking friends and family??? perhaps a silly question but worth a go?

    I don't follow your logic: You heard of someone receiving fraudulent emails asking for help, so the OP had better not send genuine ones?

    I've heard of people receiving phishing emails from fraudsters pretending to be banks. So perhaps you would advise banks never to send emails to their customers any more?
