    Admins, feel free to move this to the appropriate place. I just recieved this email regarding a trouble ticket I don't recall creating. If this is something I initiated, it must have been a long time ago, and I can't find any way to follow up on this. I don't think I've ever opened a troubled ticket with Unity before, so I think this is Phishing. Since it's coming from a crazy address in the salesforce.com domain, I'm inclined to think it's spam.

    Good point. There are no links, and nothing that tries to convince you to go to any websites, etc. If this is a phishing attempt, its the worst one ever designed.

    I think this was just a misunderstanding.

    Hm. Excellent point. I feel pretty foolish for having missed that rather obvious clue. Sorry for the false alarm.

    This is what happens when you receive and email from the Unity forums letting you know that you have a new private message, and you reply to that email.

    I got that once, i figured it out. I'd replied to one of their emails instead of someone else and I got an auto response from them.

    Check your sent messages.

    Most phishing scams will be along the lines of:

    Something is wrong with your account, log in HERE to fix the problem!

    Then without thinking somebody goes to the log in sending the scammer their info.
