Very similar email received, requesting email address confirmation be sent to mzuckerberg430@gmail.com. Now asks for Full Name, Contact Address, Mobile Number, probably prior to then asking for my bank account details in the next email, very likely after which my account will be emptied and me thus being left destitute!
Isn't it about time the senders of these emails be made examples of by being prosecuted and their victims be compensated accordingly?

It is very difficult to catch these cybercriminals who can be operating from anywhere.
