You have just been sent a personal message by vary_skobeleva on Avast WEBforum.

IMPORTANT: Remember, this is just a notification. Please do not reply to this email.

The message they sent you was:

Hi! We are looking for people who would like to participate in our research. The participation will be paid with 50 euros and easy.
Do you use Avast Premium Security? Do you have a paid license for it?


me too

I wouldn’t give out any information. It looks like the person who sent the message is phishing.

He shouldn’t be bothering anyone else - Improper use of private message function.
