Is anybody else getting 'Product tester' emails

Hiya Peeps

I've had two emithers today in my inbox & not junk mail, from a 'trusted sender' asking me if I want to be a product tester for Cadbury's Chocolate & Gillette Razors - strange diet I know :rotfl::p;)
I'm a bit suspicious of them 'cos they don't say my first name. I've deleted them, but wanted to give you a heads up in case you get them too. They actually look quite legit.
It's some marketing place that's sent them, but it's that 'trusted sender' bit that I wanted to warn you about. I've tagged Cadbury's on Twitter, but no-one has got back to me.
Just thought I'd let you all know, so you can look out for them

Not had those but got some dodgy ones a while ago where the "trusted sender" was just part of the email and not added on by hotmail/outlook.

I've been getting these for ages. Sometimes they go into junk, sometimes they don't. For me, they're usually easy to spot, as my email name isn't my real name, and it's very rare that the scam ones use my real name.

Usually, when I get them, they have an American address at the bottom of the emither, so I know that they are iffy.
These are rather convincing looking, but its the fact that they didn't use my name, that alarm bells started ringing.
It makes a change to get these, tbh. I'm getting lots for funerals, mortgages, and sexy asian ladies atm. :eek::rotfl:;)

I got one from Durex - but you have to work a week in hand.
