Obviously they aren't genuine just seeking contact points for junk e-mails/scams

I had them too

I have received them also - I moved them straight to junk.  The spelling/grammar was so bad they couldn't possibly be genuine.

I assume they have picked up all the emails from the proadvisor website, and trying to get a response.

I've received 4 of them since yesterday - great!

Great to know others are receiving these

I have been receiving these too and had assumed they were spam but there is always a nagging doubt until you know it is happening to others.  Thanks 'Gone sailing' for bringing it to this site.

Word for word

got the second one of these this morning.

As for Quickbooks ones, I get about 3 day and have done for some months so tend to ignore anything with Quickbooks mentioned in it.

Definitely spam then - aw, and there I was hoping for a nice fat client fee! ;)

I have had them also

I think the source is if you are listed on the Quickbooks site.

they are from email extensions @outlook.

I wish these idiots would just get a ****ing job.

me too

I did received the same emails too.

Not sure what their intent is.

I also keep getting these very annoying emails (see below) through again due being listed on the Quickbooks site so perhaps there is a connection.  Sure no one is so gullible to even want to use these cowboys. 

I received so many emails on a weekly basis from different names.

What happens next ?

I can't figure out what happens next.

As they have the email address already, they can't be just checking if it works because they could assume it is valid, on the basis of whence it came.

So one replies, then what?

(trying very hard with my grammar)

Us too.
Just like OP and tracey2412, the second version is new at the end of the week, whilst 3 per day land in my spam folder, harvested from the QuickBooks ProAdviser listing. (So .... the jokers and the paranoid might see the common link being a certain web forum)
