Just received an email from friendsreunited - Is it spam/scam?

[Bad Ash]

I just received an email from friendsreunited saying that someone had left me a message and to click a link to read it.

I don't recognise the name of the person, so my 1st guess is that it was some kind of email/password grabbing scam. However the link is legit, its the proper site. However the site seems snowed under with requests so I can't actually log in.

Makes me think its some kind of mass mailed spam to flood the site. Just wondering if anyone else had an email like this?

PS Yes it was from a girl. If I don't/didn't know her then hopefully I soon will

Probably someone legitimately inviting you to a school reunioin. If you went to Longhill you got the same email as me.

Open it, you wuss!

 

[Robot Chicken]

Yes I have. I think it's kosher. You get notified when people leave you a message, so I'm sure it's not a scam.

I had a similar one and it turned out to be a message for a reuniion for anyone that had been at my school in a ten year period so that might be why you don't recognise the name.

i had one as well for a school reunion for all at seaford head school at the Event , so i think it is legit.

 

[Waterhall Wizard]

Of course it's legit. I had one too.

So I'm off to the cemetery next week for the school reunion.

 

[Bad Ash]

Ok. Its just the fact that I can't actually login that raised suspicions. Perhaps its just a huge reunion planned!

Check the headers. Ensure it was actually sent by a friendsreunited.com server and not something else entirely OR a common mispelling of it (like freinds)

If they're clean, its 99% chance of being legit.

go to the main friendsreunited.co.uk site and check the person is on the schools list, for the year you left..

You shouldn't really click a link in an email if you're not 100% sure it's legit. Just go to the web site and log in normally. You'll soon find out if there's a message there for you that way.
