Snebrat05 said:Good afternoon, I'm new to all this, however I've had the exact same email but the name was Mathew. What should I do??You could send a reply addressing him as "Matthew" with 2 "t"'s. That'll annoy him, he hates people spelling his name wrong.I AM JOKING !!!!! Seriously, DON'T even think about sending a reply. If you do, you'll find your email address added to a "suckers list" and you'll be bombarded with loads more spam.Just delete the email (actually, if your email provider gives you the option of flagging it as Spam or Phishing then do that first, there's a slim chance it may stop other people getting rubbish from the same address).But the bottom line is - ignore it. It's just an out-and-out Spam/Phishing attempt, there really is nothing at all to worry about.
