Notice the following that suggest it is a scam (proof will follow)
- The address to reply to is different to the one used to send the email
- The email is not personally addressed - it has been bulk emailed to a number of people. In addition, it was received as a BCC.
- The poor grammar in the email are indicative of someone who does not speak English as their first language.
Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.
