Gilly,
Also please ignore my stupidity about the messages from 'me' going
through without being moderated, ...
There's nothing "stupid" about that, I think most group owners / mods keep themselves unmoderated for convenience. It is just that I got a similarly nasty lesson all those years ago, except in my case it was a zombie computer spreading a virus rather than a malcontent or scammer.
Thank you for taking a look at the first one for me, the one entitled
simply 'hi' The spammer clearly doesn't have grammatical skills.
That's typical of the phishing messages I've seen. Either they are super informal and short (as if a friend), or they're trying to mimic a notice from a legit company. Some of the latter are annoyingly accurate - often a copy of an actual notice from that company, but with the links changed to point to the scammer's site.
