Oaktech Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 I've not had one and I have 3 GAFE domains... Where do the links resolve to if you save the email and look at the html in notepad? 1

bald_pig Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 Yup, looks like crap, what email address is used, and where does the link point to? 1
bodminman Posted November 20, 2015 Author Posted November 20, 2015 Looks bulls%*t to me. I think there maybe something wrong with your keyboard!
LiamHaith Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 Judging purely on the fact they failed to spell inconvenience correctly... I'm going to say it's a phish. 1
MatthewL Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 Looks spam, if in doubt its always worth checking message headers for emails you receive, you can see where they have come from and generally work out the bad ones from there. 1
FN-GM Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 Looks spam, if in doubt its always worth checking message headers for emails you receive, you can see where they have come from and generally work out the bad ones from there. The domain name it come from says it all to me! 1
