    Edit: Oops. I think that is sent from the Original Unity Email. Just checked it out and it seems legit to me. :D

    I also got one of these today unexpectedly. It's possible that it may have been from us and sent out by mistake but until we establish what has happened, I recommend that nobody click on the "activation" link.

    OK, mere moments after my last post, I've discovered that this is not malicious. It was sent out by mistake due to an error during a test. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.

    Not that I'm questioning a person's individual quest to earn some side cash, but... on the topic of odd Unity related messages... Did David intentionally tweet an ad for a "internet get rich quick" product, or is the Newscorp mobile hacking problem spilling over into other sections of Europe?

    Just curious...

    Cheers,

    Galen

    [edit] NM, seems it was a hack... David found it. Thanks.
