I'm glad the mystery is solved and it is a legit email. I always delete if I have the least concern.
That one is legitimate. Designs in Machine Embroidery (DIME) is now the official software for the parent group - including that it took over Floriani Software. That could have gotten your e-mail from you getting freebies from the magazine, from something Floriani, or from you being a magazine subscriber. I understand your being fearful - that is always a good thing with the scammers and spammers out there. This one is okay.
it looked legit to me. I am sure DIME magazine website has more information! I found the page. Here is the link. I am so glad I went there and read a bit, I found a entry form to win Designer Handbags II by Nancy! I have seen that program on public TV and would love to win it! So do not enter! lol!
My advise is to always delete any emails you have not signed up for or from people you do not know. Better safe than sorry.
Yes I 100% agree but was curious to hear if anyone else had received a similar email. The answer is above
If the email specifically mentions "softwear," delete it immediately. Misspelled words are a sure sign of illicit activity.
I received one also, haven't opened it yet, waiting to see what everyone says.
