I'm very confused about this "promotional" email I received.

Sebine LifeWind - Keep the International Women's Day celebration going strong.

 

 

This is very confusing.
As I don't recall getting any sort of email for International Men's Day.

In fact, a search of my emails shows 0 IMD and 1 IWD email.

 

Weird that I'd get an email celebrating women but not men.

Unless this isn't a celebration, but in fact pathetic paper-thin virtue signalling.

 

 

So here's my feedback and advice, to improve paypal.

 

 

STAY THE HELL OUT OF POLITICS.

 

 

If you can do that, you'll do just fine in the future.

 

After all, why risk alienating people over meaningless virtue signalling, when it's pathetically transparent.

 

But hey, don't take MY word for it, just ask Wizards of the Coast how their foray into politics is going.

Spoiler alert: Not well.

Looks like Spam.

 

You may want to simply delete the email or you have the option to:

* Forward the entire email to:    spoof@paypal.com.
* Do not alter the subject line or forward the message as an attachment.
* Delete the suspicious email from your inbox.
* Never click on any links within the email or open any attachments.

Look at the email address domain and wording in the email, grammar, salutation, spelling, etc.  If any of these are questionable, it's most likely a spoof.
