Hello - Below is the complete text of an email I got today. I did not click on the link because I thought it was suspicious.  I ave visited Nouschka Designs before, but the wording of this made me cautious. I changed the lnk below so it wold not work. I do not want anyone to lick it if it indeed is a scam. I worry that someone comprmised this Poser Venders mailing list. 

Does anyone know about this? The complete email text follows:

That is a straight deal.  Nouschka is a pretty big merchant here and elsewhere.

Note the URL in the image is the same as above.

Nouschka is a respected merchant. I wouldn't be concerned. 

I received the e-mail as well, clicked on the link and $5.00 was credited to my account.  It's on the up and up. ^__^

Yep, same here. Have bought Nouschka's stuff before, all excellent quality & service.

Nouschka has been around for ages, she delivers top-notch products at a very good price.  It's rather bad form to accuse her generous gifts as scam, imo!

I didn't see it as an accusation just a question. I probably would have deleted it myself. Who knows for sure these days what is real and what is not?

I agree, I see a legit question being asked here..not an accusation ;)

Well, you put "Nouschka" and "Phishing" and "Scam" together in the subject in a pretty unpleasant way.  On paper it's "just a question," but in practice a lot of poeple will read your subject and article and immediately jump to the wrong conclusion.  I obviously can't sit over your shoulder and tell you what to type, but you might try to be more neutral in making a post like this in the future.  "What is this email from Soandso?" instead of saying "Is this email from Soandso a Terrorist Plot to Make Babies Into Dog Food?"

DITTO! totally legit question- He was e-mailed the offer he did not inquire about it . Of course a simple "is this legit ?" title would have been better so people don't connect the vendors name with unsavory activity.
