It's fake. I got one, then 5 afterwards. When you click the link, it sends you to a page that asks for your Email AND password [img]http://gyazo.com/01c9d37d107bf9d4c719eb6b16b12412.png[/img] Dat url also [img]http://gyazo.com/d434f4131754c27f274047b2cc00522d.png[/img] Why would it ask for my email password?
