Hello everyone.
Below I have copied an email I received this week.
On researching into it, the addresses are all false, & I'm in communication with Toyota about this 'phishing email'
I thought that it was in the best interests of ALP members, to see this email, as some could get caught by it.
It is a CON, if you get it, do not answer it.
