It was a random email. Coincidentally, or otherwise, I also got an email from "McAfee" saying my subscription had expired which was interesting as I haven't used McAfee for about 8 years, but I am aware of this scam plus another from Norton, who I do use, asking me to confirm my email address.
I get little or no spam and am ultra cautious when it comes to seemingly "legitimate " emails asking for information which the source should already have. And I never open attachments or click on reply.
A lot like "Dr Google ", there's plenty of information available, in theory, about various scams but even so, I am wary.
tescoapp.....thanks for that advice, I admit I hadn't considered this option which makes perfect sense.
