To: undisclosed-recipients
Subject: Re: Renew Your Netflix Subscription - HHZIU9VUSOCJ
Notes: The email comes from the address mqg45gxc@netmeds.com suggesting an internet pharmaceutical website email address. The genuinine Netflix email address would be something@netflix.com.
The click through website is https://cp-rsl09.per01.ds.network/~heartnso/lix/. A sub-domain of ds.network... very suspicious. Then we have all this blank space which if you scroll down you see links first to https://trk.nc.rewards.airasia.com/... an airline? then links to https://email-marriott.com/T... the hotel chain. Not sure what all that is about.
Recomendation: Just delete the email
