Warning all scam emails

Just a warning to all on the Lexus UK Forums.

Opened my email this morning and had got two emails to say there was a reply to a post I had been replying to.  I did open the email but luckily didn't open the link as I noticed it had come through at 2.31 am in the morning and it was from wizzy millions.  So went straight to the forum , signed in and there were no replies.  So please be careful forum members as you could not tell the difference just looking at the email listings, usually there is a dash or full stop in the Lexus owners club title but even the Icon was identical to past notifications.  Hope no one else has had this happen.

Well spotted Neil.  I also had this email and after using the 'Go to this post' link noted that there was no additional post.  Inspecting the links in the email also raised suspicion as it is unusual for any to appear in the notification emails.

The emails were legitimate as there was a reply to a thread you were subscribed to. However, the reply itself was spam which was then removed once wizzy millions' account was marked as a spammer, hence you didn't see it.

There were many threads affected by spam last night, two of which you must have been subscribed to.

My suspicions were aroused when I noticed that ‘wizzy millions’ apparently owned a 2025 Lexus.  Is that even possible?

If so, I expect he paid cash.  🤔

Wonder how "Wizzy millions" is making his millions?

"Buy your Bud,  driver's license,Passport, Visa, EITLS exams, Fake bank notes  Email: wizzymillion17"

He is probably American with his/her spelling of license.😜
