Agreed with johng.

Move to Spam or delete WITHOUT clicking on anything else.

 

Oh and next time maybe hide your email address in the screenshot. That might reduce future spams... or TV members hassling you. ????

99.99999% sure it's not genuine.

 

If you are a user of t-online.de go direct to their site (don't use the embedded link) and check there if you need to perform any action (bet you don't).

 

Don't even know what t-online.de is.

ha ha  yes I had some emails like that in the past  in my inbox  not even addressed to me..forged somehow both from the sender and to the recipient :w00t:  maybe some sort of mail server brain fart

but even still just put it straight in the rubbish bin where it belongs.

Any ideas if it is genuine?

Just to give you and others a few ideas:

Do you know anybody like motoresmoymartinez?
 If no, delete
Is your email address [email protected]?
 If no, delete
Does it mention your name somewhere like: Dear Peter Smith
 If no, delete
Does the text makes any sense regarding anything you use?
 If no, delete
Is it signed?
 If no, delete
Was it in your spam folder?
 If yes, delete

 

There are lot of other signs but that should be enough for a start.

Well, anyone can put anything they want in the 'From' part of the email, it just requires a little program to be written.

 

I have a collection of this type of thing going back about 10 years. Tens of thousands of them.

 

I could make a full history of email malware based on what's in my email collection. I've not opened a single one of them, ever.

My company's IT dept frequently used to send stuff like that a couple times a month designed  as a training program to make people aware of email threats. If you clicked on it you got a friendly reminder.????

Now there is an authenticator app on my company tablet, etc.

 

Just delete!
