At first did find it odd that someone was trying to charge for something which you can do for free plus only takes second to do plus a Government Department wanted money sent to a PayPal account. Also the email address is somewhere in Asia and was sent at 3am LOL
Was a nice touch that they went to the trouble of doing a Linkedin account but did find it funny that there job title was Cookie Compliance Consultant
Did a little more digging and found links to a Black Hat Marketing website, so from me to you
