I just received a #Scam email from a #TypoSquatter. Sender: noreply@pypj.org
They're hoping I don't notice the typo for #PyPI (the #Python package index), and asking me to “follow this link to verify your email address”.
Don't follow the link, just mark the message as spam and delete it.
Be careful out there.
