Is this E-Mail a scam?

[Jay959]

Basically, opened up my emails for the first time in awhile, saw this email and found it a bit suspicious. Did anyone else receive a similar email? Why would they give you a limited option of specifically these frames? Why Wukong and Wukong Prime? Can you claim one of these warframes while already having an account or do you need to create a new one? Why is there no other text in the email that could explain this? Why does it look so scuffed? Honestly I am just confused.

If this is real, then I have a message to the warframe PR team. PLEASE MAKE IT EASIER TO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU MEAN IN AN EMAIL INSTEAD OF THIS CONFUSING STUFF

URL look solid tho

[Jajana]

just doesnt make sense to me why the official warframe ad would give you the option to choose between wukong and wukong prime.

DE might just be really weird tho

Who sent the email.

It says "Warframe.com" there should be a full email address from the sender, just check it.

E-Mail addresses can be spoofed anyway, unless you're using something (read: cryptographic tools) so the sender can be validated. E-Mail by itself is old and vulnerable tech.

It's officially marked as an ad, can't check the email address nor reply to it it just says Warframe, Warframe.com
That's one of the reasons why I believe it's official but still terrible marketing imo

I don't know how Google ad services work, but at least the embedded link looks ok, as in: the domain name is actually warframe.com. 🤔

I still wouldn't have clicked a link like that, with all the obfuscation and encoded data in there.

 

If that's official, then it's a mind boggingly stupid move of DE to send a mail like that.

That's what I'm saying, it's really a bit fishy

[LillyRaccune]

The link goes to the official Warframe.com "landing page". Google is weird with ads. I just block all ads everywhere. So it isn't an issue for me.

What I do with games I like is to create a mail label for the specific @ , that makes it a lot easier to filtre phishing attempts

in this case, creating a label for warframe.com as the sender

Run virus checker to be safe, report to support desk

Inform support desk with a copy, they will let you know if it genuine or not. if you suspect its a scam dont use any of it links.

[Uhkretor]

... Yep, that's clearly spam from some poor soul that wants your money but doesn't have the sack to properly get it...

If you can, check where the links go without clicking them. I'd bet money they don't go to warframe.com. Maybe a variant with some spelling errors, though. 😅

This is very obviously not official.

You yourself listed a bunch of clear red flags, so... case closed?

Never see this kind of email from Warframe
