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:

Als kleines Dankeschön für die Treue die sie uns über die Zeit gehalten haben, möchten wir ihnen eine kleine Anerkennung zu Ostern in Höhe von 5 Dollar übermitteln. Sie müssen nur noch den Link in dieser Mail klcken und die 5 Dollar werden ihrem Konto gutgeschrieben.

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

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

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi

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!

L'ultima fòrza è nella morte.

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.
