Without seeing the header, I'd ignore any email asking you to do
anything like "upgrade to our services", esp with apparently 2 days
notice...

In my humble opinion.

First xeno says "They were deleted. Noddy deleted them".
Then he was asked to show the threads the deleted posts were in.
"I know where the threads are. The posts are no longer there." he said.
So show us the threads, we asked. This is where he goes real quiet..
Then we laughed at the liar who snookered himself with his own lies :-D
"I have redressed it and it's no longer an issue. Simple as that."

Like all of them, it is a *scam*. Pass your cursor over the link they
want you to click - but *do not click*. Look down at the link - the real
link - that comes up - not the one on the mail page - but the one on (in
my case) the Thunderbird window. It's at the bottom left. In most cases
that link bears no resemblance to the real account from whom the mail is
supposed to originate. Usually it's from someone's hacked mail server or
webpage.

The wording tells you enough anyway.

like this

The *implied* urgency is similarly a ploy to get you to act in haste.

Those Africans, still a long way to go with the English language.

My advice - delete it. Do not put it in the trash - put it in the spam
or junk filter - if you have one.

Yes it is real looking spam and I can imaging people clicking on the link.
The actual email is more real looking than what I managed to post, but I
could not figure out how to post the real thing on the spur of the
moment so I just cut and pasted the text.

[Lindsay]

I've been fed spam emails since 1997, and they just get better and
better. I've had 3 emails from (supposedly) Asic, all fake, but the
first one, I had to ring my accountant, it looked so real. it even
turned up on the correct date.

Hovering your mouse oven any link (without clicking) is normally a good
giveaway of whats going on. Anyone who demands can gagf.

I just trash those M$ emails. M$ is determined to make computing and the
net as complicated as possible

What did it do?

[FMurtz]

Which probably would not open

It was supposed to be a link to a copy of the email

If you have to ask, hit delete.

[FMurtz]

Did not really have to ask, just think these things are disgusting and
must catch enough to be worthwhile

Yep. There's always some gullible dickhead who thinks they have a right
to free money.

I've said it many times. Few people get ripped off without allowing
themselves to be....
