the reply came from a different address than the one i wrote to, is that normal
ok so how do you check a domain is the real one without clicking it
do not engage. do not negotiate. do not send a test payment. screenshot and post it
somebody is relabelling and marking up, is that a scam or just retail
this domain is one letter off the real one, adding it to the watchlist

nobody legitimate contacts you unsolicited offering a discount. report it, do not reply
