If it looks to good to be true, it’s a scam, ignore or delete.
It's been cleverly done: I received the same and it seems this Cheyenne has access to my full name - unusual as my surname is a single letter - and makes out that she(?) got my email address wrong; standard encryption has been used, which scammers don't usually bother with; and what's particularly alarming is Cheyenne has typed my name EXACTLY as it appears on my bank card...and nowhere else does it appear precisely like this!
I received one also
I replied. Any idea why they do this?
I replied to this email, what does it mean?
Thank you received one and will delete it - I hate scammers
