Thank you for sharing the info which will be helpful for everyone. I think we all should try to avoid phishing emails and also the scam emails which are in our spam folder. So try to ignore the email which topic is unknown to you

It looks like these scammers are using automation for email mass sending and also using alternate sender addresses to avoid flagging so I think we should expect a lot of these being sent to us more often.

If you have any suspicion that your email have been compromised, then you can check it at Firefox Monitor and see if it has been included in a data breach.

This might be a old trick but newbie can fall for this so, it is always good to share that information in community.

Also, it is always not same to share our personal or office information anywhere as it can also be hacked.

It's better to use your built-in browser. There's a lot of browsers out there with injected spyware on it. So always be cautious about using them. If you are using browsers like Google chrome or mozilla, don't save your pass as it can easily be backed. Also don't just add browser extension of it's not needed. Some of the has copy paste virus. Their address will automatically paste when you paste other address. So be cautious about that.

Also we should only install the browser from their original websites. It is always danger to install the browsers from third party sites and if someone email like the case of OP, to install from a link, it will be surely a virus or a malware.
I do trust Mozilla and even store my password on it, but after reading some views here i will remove all my save passwords from the browsers too. Its feels everyone is looking to scam the other rather than being honest

This is clearly a fake website and newbies are often fooled by this. I have also received a similar email but I will never click on those links. Security is always my top priority, those links are most likely malicious links and they can steal information from my computer.
It's best to put such emails in a spam mailbox and forget it.

At least he do thread to aware again some people who do not know or lack of knowledge from hacker's so it would be good also.  Some thread like this go down so no one would seen about this and it would be bad.

I also do putting it on spam so it won't notif me about some malicious information or message.
