Alarming E-mail

I don't think I've ever received an alarming email in all the years I've been using email. One of the reasons is that I don't always check my email, but also that I quickly decide not to open an email if I think it looks suspicious. I also tend to put emails from companies I haven't dealt with for a while straight into the spam folder. All those newsletters and emails and whatever else end up there until I do something with that company again. That could be once a year or once every 10 years.
I also don't think emails are written in alarming situations. In those cases, you write an official letter, or rather, you receive an official letter, sent by registered post, or you get a phone call, or someone literally comes to your door. Email is more distant and doesn't really count for much. It's supposed to be a replacement for letters, but that's not how they're often written. It's somewhere between a quick note exchanged between people who know each other, with companies or scammers pretending to know you, addressing you informally or sending you fake friendly messages. To be honest, I'm not really charmed by that.

There is literally no one I know who would send me an email about something alarming, because it would take a very long time to get a response. I have better things to do than checking my E-mail (unwanted and spam included) every ten minutes. It's the biggest waste of time and makes people at work less productive.
