I just know alot of scams are going around mainly through emails. I have been aware of them and know what to look for and this one particular couldn't be more obvious. First off It addresses me as customer instead as name then ask for your name. Second of all ask other details. Then it ask for money to get money that is supposely yours. So just thought i would share to give a heads up.
