Venditoris: Beware of Sellers & Scams

Well…. some Spam clues and Spam properties:

1. It obviously a mass email, there’s no address in the “To:” spot.
2. It is impersonal; I am addressed as “Dear,” (I am not “,”).
3. The author cannot decide how to spell his (or her) name.
4. They do not know what we sell; they are fishing for a contact (next email of two would be a “Hook” to “Land” the “Fish”).
5. It has more than one return email address.
6. Rules of English grammar and spelling are violated, consistently.

It is certainly SPAM and almost certainly a “Fishing” email into a SCAM.

Label it SPAM and DUMP IT!
