We buy a fair amount of stuff from Amazon. Today I received the following email from a foxmail.com address:

Hi there

We currently have this following free Amazon product for review, the product image is at the end of this email.

300ml Water Flosser

Should you have an interest, please let me know.
I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards
Stan


I know Amazon does look for reviewers from time to time, but coming from a non Amamzon email seems a bit fishy?
Yep, my name really is Bob.

    Unless it was a butt flosser I wouldn’t be interested anyway.

    The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

    It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact.

    Imagine making politics your entire personality.

    Write back from a spam-use email address saying you only have one tooth and that 300mL seems like an awful waste of water, but that you'd be happy to review the product. Then, post on Amazon that all your teeth grew back after using the product.
    I disabled signatures.

    It seems to me that scammers can also use this method, because now it is quite relevant. It would be best not to agree to any proposals. You can answer, but do not send any of your data, because it may end badly

    Things work good with the Dyson until it pulls the vacuum below 50 microns, then things turn ugly. 😢
