Exactly the same words, just different names.
They send these messages to one of my customers sites about three times a month, I got worried and replied to them directly asking to point out which image they argued it is copyright so I would take note and research, never replied.
Thanks to this and other sites I found out it was a scam
Yup, it’s a scam.
I’ve gotten about 100 of these… How do I stop them?
