Hi,

I'd like to make sure this is a true canon email?

Receiced from infocanonmanagements@gmail.com

(a gmail is very doubtful coming from canon)

Emails goes like:

Greetings,

It's a scam. Canon doesn't use Gmail for any of its email correspondence.

Thanks for joining the conversation, kropotkinwillis! The previous two replies are correct in that this is not a legitimate email from Canon USA. Official correspondence from us would come from an email address ending in "canon.com."

Hope this helps!
