That's sad to know. Some people are too naïve and they find themselves got cheated. I receive these kind of messages all the time in my email inboxes. Just ignore them. They know no shit LOL
They use the fear factor of human nature 🤣
How many gullible people do you think this scammer might fool in to sending money to him before the email companies permanently block him?
Unfortunately no email company can block anyone. He deson't even need a valid email address to send these emails. Just write a script with php mail() function and you are good to send email to anyone without logging in any email account.
<?php
$from = "test@abc.com";
$to = "test@gmail.com";
$subject = "Checking PHP mail";
$message = "PHP mail works just fine";
$headers = "From:" . $from;
mail($to,$subject,$message, $headers);
echo "The email message was sent.";
?>
Write whatever email address you want to write for the variable $from. You don't even need to follow an email address format.
It's too easy.
