Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone else had received this email from another folksy member called Danny Mckee (https://folksy.com/users/dannymckee).
This person (if they are actually a real person) sent me this a few weeks ago (been meaning to mention it, but you know how it is 
)

Sounds scammy to me, afterall no respectable business person uses a yahoo email account Even if it isn’t a scam it’s not exactly the best offer I’ve ever received.
Anyone else received this ?

Am I missing something, what is wrong with having a yahoo email address?

I had one from a blogger today asking me to send her a free sample of my work and she chose my bunny button charm bracelet.
I have ignored and deleted it.
Can’t remember all the details just thought what a cheek
No I haven’t received anything like that, but it does sound a bit dodgy! I’ve just searched the company name and I haven’t seen anything that resembles this company or the contact details! And especially as they seem to ask for payment details!
Nothing wrong with a yahoo address @dawnsneesbyjewellery, however I would personally expect a company to have a company email not a generic one if that makes sense?

oh dear it’s that time again when the bloggers and twitter accounts, intragram blogs etc etc are out promising great advertising for either one of your items or money.
Don’t get conned by any of these and report them to admin.
They tend to target newer accounts with what appears to be a wonderful opportunity for more exposure when really what are they going to truly offer. A odd twitter or call out to their 100 followers who probably arn’t even your target market.

That’s the name I had contact me.
I was contacted by them too but didn’t take much notice.
Hi Dawn,
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with having a Yahoo email address, or any other web-based email (I favour gmail for anything personal, shopping etc ) . The point I was making is that you wouldn’t use a web-based email address for your business, you’d use an email account with your own domain name eg info@, hello@. It looks more professional.
Yes, that is a massive cheek

Hi Bek,
Thanks for explaining, afraid I’m not very computer savvy.

I got the email as well and reported it at the time, as i thought that we were supposed to do so when we got emails along those lines, as I would assume that they would be classed as spam.
I think I will probably just delete them in the future.
That’s perfect. Thank you Helen. We have contacted the sender now.

I did receive a reply about it from Folksy at the time Camilla. I’m really glad that Bek has put up this post so thankfully something will be done about it now.
