Suspicious email from DBH

Post by Gary » Mon Apr 01, 2024 8:13 pm

Anyone else received a dodgy looking email from DBH? Email address looks questionable. Posted on a new thread rather than clogging up the main thread. Info looks legitimate though :lol:

Yes I got it too, looks like the info is ok and doesn’t ask for any personal information either but email address definitely looks a a bit iffy!

I posted this on another forum but I think it could be a scam too. Neither the email address or the "air tattoo website" link look legit when hovering over them.
Guys a warning, the email doesn't look like an official email address and a good few on social media are saying they feel its phishing scam and have reported it to RIAT.

Email says its from RIAT but when you hover over it the email is 358751@r1.dotdigital-email.com

Also the link, while the link says "Air Tattoo website here" making it look official, if you hover over the link it actually does not go to the RIAT website and is a ddlnk.net address in reality.

Not saying it is 100% a phishing scam but the links and email address do not look like an official RIAT one to me and a good few others. The fact it went into everyones spam also is a big red flag.

Apppologies if I am overly cautious here and it is officially from RIAT but it smells a bit off.

dotdigitial looks a legitimate way of sending a mass marketing emails. I’m guessing the software has glitched out or user error. So the email address looks dodgy. I’d still be cautious with it though

I clicked on the link to the Tattoo website, it took me to the FRIAT Login page, pre-populated with ID and password (from Goggle password manager).

I logged in, and was on the main, correct Tattoo website.

I think it is just a digital marketing outfit that DBH are using.

Having said all that, I just tried to login again, and I just go round in a loop which takes me back to the login page... The address looks legit: airtattoo.com

According to multiple people who contacted DBH today, the email was legit and from RIAT.
