Is that spam?

[honeybear]

Hi,

What about this content of email?

I am wondering if it is true or not. Could sbdy check if it is a spam email or not ?

Have you seen Emails with Paypal requesting your own account information are sometimes sent?

I mean it shall be a higher security than just an anti-spammer.

An international blocked email address list shall be posted on ubuntu, so that an evolve spammer check if it may be harmful or belongs to spam.


Example of spam:

If you receive an email that requests account details that should already be known to the sender and that wouldn't normally be communicated by email, be very suspicious.

Have a look here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phishing

If someone really has lost your account info, they won't have your email address in the first place.

*Any* unsolicited email claiming to be from *any* business or site that has even a piece of your financial info should be ignored. *Never* click on a link that's been included in such mail.

If you think a business actually needs your attention, go to their site via a a known good URL you enter manually or have bookmarked.

The link is dead anyway, I just get a 404.

Also, it's not properly written, so if it's supposed to come from a serious site, I wouldn't trust it:

You're contributions to the site were very helpful(...)

If it was me I would delete the email.
