  Somebody created an account at MyEpson with OP’s email address and the name “GET BITCOIN NOW link”, which sends a confirmation email to OP with that name. Basically it’s spam using Epson as a trojan horse to get past filters.

Welcome to /c/SoftwareGore!

This is a community where you can poke fun at nasty software. This community is your go-to destination to look at the most cringe-worthy and facepalm-inducing moments of software gone wrong. Whether it’s a user interface that defies all logic, a crash that leaves you in disbelief, silly bugs or glitches that make you go crazy, or an error message that feels like it was written by an unpaid intern, this is the place to see them all!
