E-mail scams. They keep coming.

E-mail scams are still here. Just as bad as they ever were. Sometimes they are subtle. Sometimes they are bold. Here is one I just got that links Google to UFO sightings.

If you get this in your e-mail, delete it.

Your image isn't very clear; this is, the text part of it is not clear.  What does it say?  How is it scam?  I'm not doubting that it's scam, just wondering what is the nature of the scam.  Is it trying to lead the user to a fraudulent site where they're asked to enter their Google username and password?

Soybean, I just now made the pedicure larger . Also, when you click the link you get this:

It seems harmless, but it gets a WOT warning. Here is the page of the link.

If you think this is a legitimate site, please advise.

I checked WOT too and I see what you mean.  Avoiding it seems the best thing.

Did you receive the email a gmail account?

This is a strange sentence.

No, it was via another account that does not haven filters in place. I use that account when unknown sites want my email address. I use the gmail account for people I know or for business work.

So, it was no fault of Google.
Glad I have WOT.

the entire purpose of this thread is nonexistent. It's like starting a thread titled "bread still made from wheat". It's stating the obvious.

Many do not know the obvious. Therefore,  using your suggestion, I am doing research now on "Is Bread still made from Wheat?." which is like the question"Do Americans speak English?"

[CBMatt]

From where I stand, the language of the US is debatable.  It seems like more often than not, I have to make special requests for English forms when dealing with health care, welfare, DMV, job applications, etc.  Reminds me of an episode of Married...With Children:

No, the equivalent would be "Do any Americans speak english?".
