Ignore it! Why you ask?

Requests your personal details

This is a BIG nono. NEVER, NEVER, EVER SEND THEM YOUR INFORMATION.

Email Spoofing

Sometimes you can receive an email from someone and the return address is from a trusted domain name even though the email was not sent by the domain in question. This is called email spoofing.

Poor Grammer

Excessively poor grammar is a dead giveaway to the reliability of an email supposedly coming from a reputable company.

Impersonates a reputable company

This communication attempts to emulate a reputable company hoping to get you to click on the link or download their attachments.

Phishing for Information

The sender of this email is hoping that you will click on the link and enter your username and password into a specially crafted website that looks like a trusted service. The website of course if fake and any attempt to use your username and password will result in your credentials being compromised.

Ignore it! Ignore it!

If you can't report it, it's best to simply ignore email scams altogether.

I received this scam yesterday via email and I disregarded it! I got it again today and did some spellcheck, a reputable company would do so before sending out! I then thought of looking up the doctor and I came across this! Thank you so much!
