Scam email

[Dotty]

I've got an email asking me to reset my password by clicking on a link, is this a scam. If not why do I have to do it.

I've had that one. I think it's a scam. Does it address you with 'Hello', not by name? If so definitely a scam.

Thank you Amanda. Yes it does begin with 'Hello', which made me suspect. I have deleted it.
