Emails may contain advertisements, invitation and worst are these emails that are created to fool you get your personal information like your email address, credit card no. , account no., etc. And use this information for their benefit. You already know what that means. So I decided to post these emails that are suspected to be created by these hooligans or emails that appears to be suspicious. Here is one of them; (I’ll paste the email itself and the picture that he attached to it.)
