Scam Email: Alice Mogan

The contents of this scam email was a little different than the usual I see but there were still the enough of the usual signs to tell me this was a scam. One sign was the word enquiry. The generic nature of the email not even referencing what I supposedly do. The weird company name. Signing the email not by the person's name that has been stating at the beginning. And finally that weird period I *always* seem to see at the end of a signature of a scam email. Their templated software must produce this because no real person puts a period there.

NOTE!!!! DO NOT ACTUALLY CLICK ON THE LINK IN THEIR SCAM EMAIL!!! It's there to just show what was in their email in case others search on that to see if they have also received a scam.

    You can see comparing the scam email I just received to the original one above that the scammer is sending their scam from different servers but using the same reply-to address to get replies from their potential victims, the content is basically the same but the link in the email is different. PLEASE DO NOT CLICK ON THAT LINK.
