Most likely it is a phishing attempt. If you have some sort of account that you believe this email talks about, then go to that account the way you did the first time you created the account, or however you normally access the account. Don't click on any links in emails you receive (even from friends or family since even they usually will pass on fraudulent links). Scammers can make emails and links really convincing even for experienced IT security professionals. The only time I will click on a link within an email is when I have created a new account for some website or when I have requested a password reset and am expecting an email (even then I still carefully inspect the message). Always be suspicious & careful.

I never open any email links. I do however, key the address directly on my "junk" Windows PC to see what's up. I likewise don't accept any offers. If I need a service, I'll do the research and go get what I need. I don't need, nor use, impromptu invitations.


Web search finds this, but then there's no guarantee it's legit either: https://scamcreditcards.com/digital-river/
