I recently received a genuine email from [email protected]
with my full name. Something about changes to our agreement.
Anyway, i assume its fake & forward it to this address: [email protected]
for analysis. Here's the reply i got :) :

OK but it seems like a dumb solution for a criminal to use to get you to click on a link. No one reads user agreements let alone updates to them.
