First of all I have not been trying to sell my account as stated in bold and underlined, so right away I became extremely suspicious. Secondly, when going to one of the provided links in step 2, Mozilla blocked the website saying it was a blocked website for Phishing.
If this is indeed not a scam, what's the best way to tell if they're mistaken?
