which.co.uk email. Genuine or scam?

peewhyeff

Has anyone else received an email from which.co.uk asking 'are you able to tell a genuine email from a scam?' Then 2 boxes YES or NO .
IF its a scam its cleverly done.....its got me worried.

Why? Just delete it.

Cos I thought it was genuine and clicked on the Yes box which then displayed an example of a message from ebay (it flows into a kind of quiz). I didn't go any further than that. Then being curious I clicked on the NO box at which point I noticed that the web address said whichco.uk , not as expected which.co.uk.
wondered if someone else can say for sure it is genuine.

Which will only email you if you subscribed

If you want to PM me the message header I will tell you if it is genuine.

Surely "whichco.uk" is an invalid website address - so you need go no further (assuming the expected full stop is really missing...)?

Just had a look on the which? website and clicked on 'campaigns', then 'safeguard us from scams'. Scroll down and you do indeed come to a 'take our quiz' image which looks identical from that in my email. Still wary of clicking on it here even, cos I'm not that tech savvy to follow this through. Perhaps someone who is more tech confident would check this out.

Yes, it really is missing....not at the start, but I think I noticed that after clicking on the NO option ( I think)...that's what made me wary ( I think, the whichco.uk was followed with something like bds?)

Just delete it and breath....It's not anything remotely important.
