I want to make it clear why I posted this. The reason is this fraudulent spam email message somehow made it into my inbox so I suspect that it made it’s way into other people’s inboxes. Bottom line here it’s a scam. matthewhoo(@)hotmail.com in this instance is the scam. The spammer who spammed me was ksuadmit(@)kennesaw.edu yes that’s a scam too. The key thing not to do when it comes to these phishing scam email messages is you do not click the link. Above you may notice that I put 2 “xx” where the “tt” would be to disable the link. The reason is because the link above is used to steal your personal information and also to compromise computer or phones private data.The actual website to the link above is serveftp.org. I personally would not trust the link nor do I recommend any go to that website. Bottom line here the above is a complete scam that should be avoided by all costs. Report those spam emails immediately to get the word out.
