Hello everyone,

I recently received a sketchy email. It doesn't seem legit, especially because it isn't a "@canon.com" email. If someone could confirm it's a scam please let me know! It reads as follows:

Hi. This email is NOT Canon USA. We're aware of these scam emails. Please be sure to report this as a phishing attempt and spam to your email provider to help get that email address blocked. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Delete it immediately if not sooner. I checked and I can only block a small number of trash emails. I ignore anything I get and just delete. Back when I got my first computer, my son told me to delete anything that doesn't register with me and not to open it as it can contain viruses, worms and other nasty computer critters.
