[Apologies to BMW for the image, but it was part of the e-mail.]
Yes, yet another scam e-mail sent to a clearly fictitious e-mail address wanting to know who that person is. (Funny how none of these ever reach my Earthlink address that contains my real name.) I've left the very official-looking address and name, but it's certain these aren't valid. I've removed the telephone number and e-mail address for obvious reasons.
I don't know who these folks really are, but they're not BMW. Once again, this is clearly written by someone for whom English is a challenge. The e-mail address is for some Spanish-language version of Yahoo, it appears.
Needless to say, don't be fooled if you get one of these. And like the e-mail says, Happy Holidays.
