Publishers Clearing House E-mail Scam

 This post involves a Publishers Clearing House E-mail Scam. Seems like there trying to bate someone for $850,000 dollars.  I didn't even think that Publishers Clearing House still existed... Take a look at the red flags and photos below. The email subject doesn't even contain a subject. Its just an abbreviation with random numbers. The winning dollar amount is an extremely high number.  The scammer is pretty crafty adding a lot of demographical information, and how to respond via phone or email.  The email  name <mileone@tim.it> next to Publishers Clearing House. I'm confident in thinking that it's not coming from someone in the U.S. because they spelled the word ' check ' with a que   ( checque ). Maybe from a country in the Caribbean or an African nation..?

There are 3 major problems with this email: This is a huge red flag because it already assumes you have entered some type of contest. Have You?? It states that they have been (past-tense)  trying to reach you, so there should at least be 2 emails similar to this but this is the only email received from this sender.  Also, it's highly unlikely any company would email you stating that you have won any money, let alone $50,000.  Photo #1 Promotional Email Scam In photo #2 you can see that the email in the address bar looks relativity safe or "normal".  It's not bizarre it doesn't have a weird name or mnemonic It also includes a "normal" looking website in the address bar.  However if you haven't signed up for anythin...
