    the spelling errors have me questioning if this is not some sort of spam or worse?

    Hi one man clappin

     

    I can confirm that this is indeed a phishing attempt (spam) and your initialsuspicions on this are correct.

    Please take no action on this other than deleting this email.

     

    Thanks

     

    Al
