Here is a scam, an old one, but this time they are send an email saying “Your Email ID Won (488,620.00 Euros) DOWNLOAD ATTACHMENT FOR DETAILS.”
They then attach the communication in an email to avoid filters and prevent websites from displaying there information. I’ve included the image they sent me below plus the text of the image.
It’s all a scam, so don’t respond to this or you’ll end up losing money and personal information!
