FRAUDULENT AMC EMAILS & PREVENTION ~
Someone is currently sending out large numbers of spam emails titled “AMC and one easy way to earn extra money”.
Fraud is very real and rampant on the internet these days.

The fraudulent emails are requesting emails to AMC@yahoo.com, AMC@hotmail.com, AMC@gmail.com to, presumably, find personal details. We have requested that Gmail, Yahoo & hotmail take down this account and reported the phishing attempt to them. This notice is to warn any recipient of these emails that they are nothing to do with us and we suggest deleting them immediately.
