It always comes from a different e-mail address, so I know it's spam (this one came from info@prestonclub.co.uk, and Preston Club is a nightclub in Guadalajara and I've definitely not signed up for website advise from mexican ravers), but the content is always identical, except the names. The names change every time, and I'm getting dozens of these a day at the moment.
There's no links to click on leading to spurious websites, no telephone number to call to do whatever telephone scams there are, nothing.

I don't get what it's trying to achieve. What is the scam?

Been getting these for years all go into spam and ignored ... also the "we can get your websure onto page one of google" spammers. They would have a job my old business website is long gone.

Phishing scams m8 just delete and or report.

Anyone else had the "we can remove negative reviews on google" one?
Apparently they have a "tool".

[distortiondave]

Yeah, but I don't get the scam or plan. What are they after?

I'm not sure either, but they'd have to have access to your google account . What could they achieve with that?

I receive a lot of this nonsense on the site email - just delete immediately

Access to your Google Pay details.

[boatshed bill]

Access to your Google Pay details.

I don't even know what that is

You're not their target then Google Pay/Wallet is where you save your bank card details within Google, therefore making online shopping easier.

[ClaretOfMancunia]

Also access to your GMAIL account - where they can receive password resets, banking notifications. Access to your text messages if you use an Android phone too (again, can receive banking security codes and the like).

They don't target dinasoars then
