This particular email asks you to reply with personal details to confirm your eligibility for the non-existent ‘subsidy benefit’.
In general, scam emails, phone calls, SMS and Facebook messages can look or sound very realistic. Scammers often pretend to be legitimate Departments or agencies to obtain money and personal details.
