Phishing e-mail question
Posted on 4/29/16 at 8:24 am

Please excuse my ingnorance. I'm not very tech-savvy.
I've been getting what I believe to be phishing e-mails. It's an e-mail from some company in India (Mobilitiworld) with an email address of care at mobilitiworld dot com. It comes to my GMail but also is addressed to a random gmail account listed after mine which I thought was weird. I'm not dumb enough to open the e-mail attachment, but there is a pdf along with the e-mail that looks like an invoice. I've been getting about 3 a day for the past week which has me worried that maybe it's not a phishing e-mail, though. All bank accounts and credit cards have been checked and have no issues. All invoice amounts are in rupees but are around $8-12 USD.
Any ideas? Is there somewhere I can forward these? It's pretty fricking annoying outside of being worrisome.
Thanks very much and again I apologize for my ignorance.

Look in the email for basic errors like typos, mis-spellings, grammatical errors, or general wording that doesn't make much sense.
Do you have any type of product or service with a company called Mobilitiworld? If not, it's most likely phishing email trying to get you to call or provide them with financial information.
Delete the emails, and if they get real annoying block that email address.

Delete it.
Some of these scammers really do their homework.
At work, they were targeting one person and they had somehow pulled specific information about her to make it appear that they knew her.
Parents got the "Windows" call yesterday when I was visiting. As soon as I heard my mother talking to the "Windows Rep" I told her to give the phone to me.
Indian dude must have been able to hear from my tone I knew it was a scam and he said "I frick your wife" over and over from his shitty call center. Told him to go to hell and die.
All those bastards need an unhappy end to their scamming lives.

It definitely has them. It looks official but also "off" at the same time. That's why I assumed it was phishing. What has me worried is the frequency with which they are now arriving in my inbox along with the second random gmail account as another recipient.

No. I had never heard of it until these emails started.

That's what I've been doing, but just wanted to double check. I'm not really sure how these e-mails are supposed to work or how I'm exposed. Just sort of read up on them online and wanted some other opinions.
Thanks for the response.

Good Lord. At least these fricks aren't calling and harassing me. Thanks for the reply.
