    That sounds like a scam. What self-respecting business that has a website does not have a @theirwebsite address? Plus it looks like you got it from some random hotmail account, didn't you?

    I would not buy from there personally.

    If they were legit they wouldn't you an email/promotion from an Hotmail account.
    Any legit business has a newsletter/promotions@sitename.com or anything like this
    Legit businesses have an address and a phone # to contact don't you think? All they have are some email/messenger addresses

    Scam 100%

    You can always check the seller paypal seller reputation to determine whether they are trusted or not.
    But i don't think any company will sent spam in order to promote their biz.

    The old quote TRH say in every episode:
    This has been gone over above already a few times, no real business would use a free email address, especially one as well known as hmail.
