Seems like someone used my mail address for whatever this is, which is very fishy because i didn’t use this email for anything other than job hunting in Japan.

  1. It’s probably phishing. Just delete and/or report.

    Searching for Netstation aplus online gives a few results warning about false emails from them.

  2. I regularly get emails about phishing scams from my credit card company. Just waiting for the inevitable phishing scam warning me of a phishing scam.
