Jean is very appreciative of my support and thanks me for the help with the music. Apparently her grand-daughter is visiting from Stroud. She is hoping to get her to sing with her piano accompaniment.
I don't know anyone called Jean, who lives in London, and has musical abilities.
Now, should I reply to her telling her she has the wrong email address? Or is it some devious scam and I could find myself conducting the London Philharmonic Orchestra during the Proms? (Which I am sure I could do with my perfect sense of rhtym timing.)
(Putting it like that it seems obvious that I should reply to her but we are told to be careful.)
Come to that, I don't know a Jean who doesn't live in London either.
Am I over-thinking this?

I wonder how many misfired messages are going around at any one time? Anyway she wasn't asking for $$ to buy piano music, yeah,right.
Best ignore it, love Ellis
I am ALL in favour of you conducting the Proms!
Hm, I had an interesting email the other day asking if I would be around for a meeting, and the other people on the email also responded and said they were around, but i didn't know any of them. Are svammers getting more creative?
I would ignore it and block her, too. I just got caught in a scam and had to get my credit card cancelled and a new one is coming soon. Err on the safe side. Nice doesn't work if it's really a scam.
I noticed I answered as "Anonymous" Sorry, it's Leslie in Canada here. : )
I ignore such emails. The sender may eventually realize her mistake (as did I the other day when I discovered that, much to her puzzlement, I had sent an email to our daughter that was intended for Hunky Husband) and correct herself. OTOH: If your gig at the Proms leads you to an invitation to conduct the Boston Pops Orchestra, I would surely make my way to Boston to observe (with my earplugs, I warrant).
There seems to be quite a lot of support for a future musical career for me. I am touched.
I would ignore it.
