As always, a quick comparison of the originating email address with the
claims and entities cited within the message is often the easiest way to
spot bogus requests. as an example, from my own Spam folder this morning:
Reply-To: <michael_stratford3006@xxxxxxxxxxx>
From: "Michael Stratford"<amanda.wozadlo@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: I am Michael Stratford;
If this is really "Michael Stratford" why is he using
"amanda.wozadlo"'s email address to send out his request?
