Yesterday I received an email from the above company informing me that I had signed up for a free trial. The email said

The last instruction is in a bright green box. Now, I think I had an email from them last week, which I deleted without looking at it. Unfortunately I emptied my 'deleted box' last weekend.
Anyway, I went into overdrive when I first read this email. I knew I had never opened the first email. I haven't opened the second one either, so I did wonder how I could have signed up for it.
Anyway I have just googled it www.myantispyware.com/2022/12/15/letterboxd-scam-email-subscription-paypal-cancellation/ which has told me all about it.
The only thing to do is bin it. Do NOT click on the link.
