I am NOT opening this up, but I do not have this lady as a contact and would like to warn you in case she got my email from my website.
 
Please be careful when a stranger reaches out to you with a problem and make sure to check the source of the email before responding.
 
Please be cautious and do not open any suspicious emails, especially from unknown senders. It is always better to err on the side of caution and delete these types of emails without opening them. If you are concerned about the legitimacy of an email, you can always contact the sender through a different method (such as calling or texting them) to verify if they sent the email. Stay safe online!
