The email is fake or a lottery scam. Please delete it and do not follow the instructions in it.

How is it possible that emails came from trusted sites.

The emails are not actually sent from the trusted sites, they only appear to. There is a technique called email spoofing that cyber criminals use to make an email message appear as if they came from an email address, but was actually sent from another. Click here to learn more.

Got the following email with no message, just a .jpg file attached, called peru.JPG. I figured it was a total scam and this site confirmed my suspicion.
