Yes, I *always* check the sender’s real email! The scams are getting more convincing unfortunately 😖

Though email addresses can be spoofed.

Yeah, scam. This takes advantage of peoples deep rooted fears of prosecution. And their ignorance of tech in general. smh

Since when has X given a toss about anyone's copyright?

“Possible scam” is my most frequent caller. Or
Possibly there is a filter that thinks it knows more than I?

Definitely a scam Rory, please delete and ignore if you haven't already ❤️

BTW not sure if you have seen these but there are 2 great docs on iPlayer that are really interesting, one of which is by @joetidy.bsky.social, including insights from @ciaranm.bsky.social and @lisaforte.bsky.social ❤️

pretty sure that after many years as the BBC's tech correspondent, Rory can spot a scam ... !

I'm sure he can too, but they are getting much more sophisticated these days....although that one was a blatant scam 😡

Can't see any spelling or grammatical errors and addressed to you by name, all usual tell-tale signs but does include an urgency threat and a link and if course the senders email address confirms. Get loads of similar supposedly from BT.
