Structure, punctuation, and grammer look phishy. Also, PE would probably offer something from PE. I would delete.

99%+ chance it's a scam and if you click on the link you risk infection to your computer or even ransomware or perhaps a phishing attempt. You you know this vendor, go to their real website by actually typing in the URL you know (or from your browser bookmarks) and ask them about it via their "Contact Us" link on the real site.

Unless it's from LOML, anything that starts with "Hello Dear" goes straight into the trash.

The only Parts Express I am aware of sells speaker components and does not have a hyphen in the name. Sounds like a scam to me.

Probably for the same reason that Prince from Nigeria wants to send you money.

Pure phishing. I get junk like that all the time, and it gets immediately trashed.

Bert,

Thank you for contacting Parts Express. Regretfully we currently do not have any Gift Cards/Certificates available through our company. I would disregard the email. Thank you for alerting us on this issue.

We appreciate your business. Please let us know if we may be of additional assistance.
