It’s garbage
Remember if it goes into your Spam Box it's a scam Spam=Scam
just received one and deleted it. Spam
I got two of them from the same email address five hours apart.
The "professional who's who" keeps sending me email. I ignore them completely. Very annoying. I am 67 years old, nearly 68, and I am way past the time where there would be any reason to include me in such an "award"At my age, I do not know if I will be alive in say another 1 year from nowSo annoying
you were only 67 at the time of writing this - you've got at least 15 more years to go. Why sell yourself short?
I received this email this morning so my wife and I were leary of it upon looking for validity and found multiple scam alerts. Attached is the URL they used:...I wish I could upload a screenshot but there isn't an option. Be aware and alert for these sacms
Outside of my family and workplace (mundane setting) I am of little importance. Don't even question it. It's ALWAYS a scam.
I received an email for 2022 is it a scam again
I’m thinking it probably is, I got the same email myself.
I just received an email like this. Is it a scam?
