Suspicious “rewards” email
Posted: Thu May 05, 2022 3:53 pm
Today I received a suspicious email from Slitherine/Matrix informing me that i had earned some unspecified reward for having “been with them” for 7 years.
If this is legitimate then it’s a very poorly formed email because it looks a lot like a phishing attempt. By making legitimate emails look like phishing attempts you reduce the the likelihood that users will successfully identify real phishing attempts when they occur.
Ways this could be improved would be for Assaf to include details about what the reward is as well as why simply having made an account seven years ago qualifies me for anything at all.
