Beneficiary Scam What Now

As you can see from the poor construct of the beneficiary scam email, it’s phishing for your personal information to rip you off. Do not trust it. Above all, do not reply to it. Doing so lets the scammers know they have a legitimate email address flooding your inbox with more of this crap.

Best thing to do is to delete the email, forget about it and get on with your life.
