You would think spam would at least make sense.
Weirdest phishing mail ever
just flexing on us now that you’re a bitcoin millionaire, huh
but seriously, I get about ten or so of these a week, they all get flagged as spam… probably your email was in some kind of database that was leaked
you might want to pay a quick visit to https://haveibeenpwned.com/ and check

Do that behind a VPN, and ideally with a clean browser profile (or at least private mode). Haveibeenpwned is a private business operating in a five eyes country, and they’re in a unique position to link emails to IP addresses / browser information.

It’s usually the opposite actually, to filter out anyone who might get savvy to the scam later on. Anyone who would be deterred by typos or weird inconsistencies would probably flake out when asked to send gift cards, download suspicious executables, etc., meaning the scammer would have wasted their time getting to that point. They only want the most gullible users, and anyone who follows through on really poorly written scams usually falls into that group.
In this case, I wouldn’t be worried though – looks like regular spam.
Ot only should you accept it, you should expedite the process even further by submitting your SSN or equivalent, bank routing numbers, and a photocopy of a blank check, so they ha e multiple means to give tou that sweet bonus.
Just in time for Xmas too how convenient
So basically nothing to worry about, just flag as spam and move on?
I was worried my email had been used to sign up crypto, or my bank account had been hacked or something.
LPT.
If you ever have a question, don’t follow the ‘helpful’ link. Go directly to the bank/credit card company/Pay Pal/whoever.
Also, I just got a text from ‘Chase.com@suri.li…’ telling me I had $3,000 deposited in my Chase Bank wallet. Always check the email address.
Yeah, no way I’d ever respond or click a link in one of these. This one was just so weirdly worded that I wanted an outside opinion
Not an expert. I’ve read that the scammers deliberately use ‘obvious’ scams because they don’t want to waste time with people who will catch on. They want the confused seniors or recent immigrants who can’t speak the language.
