    These have been going around for awhile. Report and ignore. At least they're easily to spot, like you mentioned.

    I guess with everyone cooped up , they have time to phish. I'm also getting more & more phone calls because ''the extended warranty on my vehicle is expiring soon'' and also Achmed from the IRS and Mohammed at ''the Social Security Agency''.

    I haven't gotten a warranty call since I tried to get their insurance for my '03 Corolla. She got really pissed when I pushed hard to get a policy for it too. In all honesty, that '03 is the newest car I own and I currently have four (five if you count that old van).

    Anytime a new user PM's someone and tells them to contact a third party that has something for sale, it's scam, regardless of email address format.

    You should know. You is the IT guru.

    I have noticed when I was looking for a boat on craigs list the scammers had a womens name,color or 4 digit number in their email address.

    So basically if a email address has letters or numbers it is a potential scam ?
