I am expecting no pckgs from this email but recieved attatched email.I cancelled that email since but it looks like a chek email that sent it.the tn was blacked out when I recieved it.thought id post this as it was my old email.any suggestions?1000073592.png
 
it would be easier to give you a suggestion if you could calm down for half a second and not type in broken english. you said you cancelled this email but somehow you're checking the inbox? someone sending you a fake email about a package isn't necessarily a "hack" incident unless i'm overlooking something here.
 
You won't be hacked if you don't give them any info. This is a phishing attempt. Sezn@am, same scammers who've been at it for a while.

You made the safe play with what info you had. They likely obtained that address from the contact list of someone else they successfully phished. In the future it's always good to let the folks here know so they can also be on the lookout, but you probably don't need to close your account.
 
Its common to have your info sold through any number of avenues. Expect plenty of these attempts andd calls/txt messages with "real tracking numbers" if you stay in this game. Not a reason to freak, sorry to say but its partof the deal. Rule of thumb always double check your sender , Dont touch a link ever. Shutting down your email all good and all but it will happen again. Be diligent and just ignore it. If its not from my vendor i dont even touch it, I have 0 reason to and i understand i use proton strictly for one thing. Any otheer emails i get are scammers/spammers/soliciters/advertisements.
