In the last few days I've received a couple of emails regarding a survey from 'Paint Shop'. Says if I take the survey I'll become a Beta Tester for Pro X6.
I'm cautious and posting this to the Board because the Emails have no Corel letter head and are written in horrible English.
Heads up to you folks.

Re: Possible Phishing scam
Did the messages have any person's name in them (apart from your own, of course)?

Re: Possible Phishing scam
No names, no letter head, all simple text, words missing that should have been there for a person speaking English

Re: Possible Phishing scam
I asked if there was a name because that could have been a clue. FWIW, the development team for PSP AFAIK is based in Taiwan, so I wouldn't have paid too much attention to the English alone. But thanks for the warning. It will be interesting to see if anyone else has received something similar.
