Argos scam email or not?

caryn14

I recently bought something from Argos and have had an email from noreply@vexrewards.com saying I am due a credit of £19.80 as the item was then reduced in the Black Friday sales. The email requires me to click a link to activate the voucher.

Normally I would just ignore this kind of email completely, but having just bought something from Argos wonder if it's kosher. Argos Livechat representative just said he has no access to this kind of information and couldn't advise me how to check if it's from them.

Has anyone had experience of this kind of email and know if it's genuine or not?

Thanks

I think you will be fine....

What is the Argos Price Guarantee?
Our Price Guarantee means that customers can shop our Black Friday deals with confidence. If a product is badged with a 'Price Guarantee' badge it means the displayed price of that product won't go lower before midnight on 25th December. If the displayed price does go lower before midnight on 25th December, we will give you an Argos voucher (in the form of an e-Gift card) for the difference between what you paid and the lower price (a "Price Guarantee Voucher").

Price Guarantee Vouchers will be provided to you via email, so you will need to have given a valid email address at checkout when you purchased a Price Guarantee product. If you are buying products instore you can submit your email on our pay at browse system or when prompted by a colleague when paying at the till.

Anyone experienced this? The OP of the discussion posted below certainly has.

After buying something from Argos he had an email from noreply@vexrewards.com saying he was due an eGift of £20 and to click a link to collect it.

Thanks for the replies.

Just to confirm, I clicked the link in the email, my pc didn't explode and I did indeed get a voucher as promised
