  1. It was received unsolicited by an email account that exists only to receive emails from scammers. This email address would not be on any legitimate mailing lists and is not registered with any legitimate businesses.
  2. It was bulk mailed to many recipients.
  3. The email address used to send it pierre-yves.gueugniaud@chu-lyon.fr is totally unrelated to the email any replies will go to and appears to belong to a French medical facility. The email address has been compromised and is now being used to mass mail initial scam emails.

  5. There is no indication in the email as to who it is from or where they are located or who the are regulated by.
