This spam email landed in my junk today and the thing that caught my was that they wanted you to email back to jouronovaelena@legislator.com
It is a great domain name and is currently parked, how would this work in practical terms I wouldn't think they own the domain name so how does the email get them if someone replies?
Does anyone on here own the domain, if so I hope it gives them a heads up it is being or trying to be used for scam purposes.
The address they have used is the US Embassy in London, the phone number is the Canadian Embassy and Sir James Ratcliffe is the CEO of Ineos - talk about a mixed bag of fraudulent credentials
