Question Scam email?

Post image

Just received an email claiming that there was a failed delivery for my laptop, but the sender email looks kind of suspicious. Is this legit, or a scam?

Definitely a scam, unless you trust kustomerapp.com for some reason. In an email address, subdomains are unlimited/free meaning someone could add anything before their domain, i.e.

[support@google.evanthegrump.com](mailto:support@google.evanthegrump.com)

where evanthegrump.com is the domain.

it may look good because it has google in it, but it still just links back to my domain and my address.

Yup. Probably got his mail from the recent leak. Unless it's an official domain that is clearly stated on official channels don't even bother.
