I had one of those 1-2 month ago. It was real and I got the 300 FPPs a few days later.

If you are not 100% sure, Email the link to have to pokerstars support and ask them (not reply to the Email you got)

It would be hard to scam you through this link if you dont give your password or whatever, right?

LOL I got this email a few hours ago and decided I wasn't going to click on it until I got confirmation it was real. I don't trust anything these days when it comes to email and instant messengers. There are just too many scum bags out there trying to steal your [censored].

A new thread comes up about this every few weeks. HostJacob, maybe Stars should be looking at fixing this email? If that many people think it looks like a phishing attempt, a change obviously needs to be made.

mainly it just seems fishy that the url doesn't go to pokerstars.com, which is something that could be changed pretty easily
