“Exclusive Gillette rewards hand-picked for you”. So, I get their new product free for testing. Sadly not true – big companies use Marketing agencies for any free trials and similar activities. They don’t send out free product to random people where they don’t even know the recipients name.
“Your latest documents from DHL Parcel UK Ltd”, yet the email address is revisionmilitary.com which doesn’t seem a lot like DHL.
