Scammer?

I think someone is trying to scam me. I just received this e-mail:



From: FabJudy
To: nittineedles

Subject: Re christening gown


Hi marg!

Judy did a spectacular job with your pattern - we,d like to offer it to our customers in a kit with the pattern - cab we work it out?

I would do a couple of versions - silk & beaded silk, silk cashmere, organic cotton too

Let us know!

Sent from my iPhone

If this was legitimate don't you think they might have capitalized the first letter in my name? Don't you think they would have checked and corrected all spelling and punctuation mistakes? Don't you think they would have introduced themselves and signed the message? Don't you think for one minute that I will be replying to this scammer.

When in doubt, throw it out. Good rule here.

Was there an attachment? Those are the ones not to open for sure. Keep us posted. But you no doubt have been, through your other activities, added to legitimate lists of venues in the knitting industry. I find that if I sign up for one thing, they share my info and suddenly I get ten more E mails from commercial entities that have related things to sell. It is tedious to go through and "unsubscribe", but I do it. Enough already.

I always check the box that tells them I don't want my e-mail address shared with anyone.

Can't tell from just the email address.

It will be interesting to see if they try to contact me again.
