Is this message real?

[outbdnut2]

Today I got another E-mail , supposedly from Eric Truntz.   I’m suspicious of all the opportunity to click on stuff in it and because of the fake e-mails in the past.  IS THIS ONE REAL?   I ran a web search on the phone number in it and it couldn’t be found.  Note that 555 came up as “not a valid area code”.   Do not click on any links in the message below until we know it’s real!

Below is what it said, and there was an attachment:

The “ca” at the end signifies email originated from Canada…
