I just had this email and I do not trust it. A mail that warns of phishing, but which shares some characteristics of a phishing mail. You have to click on a link (!!!) (alarm 1), which does not refer to a postnl microsoft security essentials url but to subscriber.e-mark.nl (alarm 2), and a rather strange e-mail address as the sender: postnlmijnpakket @ info.postnl.nl microsoft security essentials (alarm 3). Is this real or not? If not, this is a very successful phishing action (or really any phishing in the strict sense of the word-see article), if so, does not seem like quite the most sensible way to warn against phishing (to say the least). Or am I wrong?

This is at least the first email I've ever had them. I thought: my name as my email address is nicked microsoft security essentials somewhere, there also are stolen from (and to me is my name in my email address).

But there were two links in which you had to click to progress. The problem was that directed that links to a e-mark.nl 'domain. Has anyone ever heard of that?
