Kinja'd!!!

Seems kind of phishy, but I’m not sure. I remember going on the DOL site months ago, but I don’t think I gave them my email. The link goes to a links.govdelivery.com/track. Kind of weird that it’s not a dot gov, but maybe the survey’s done at a 3rd party site? Just curious about what Oppo thinks. If this is a thing other’s should look out for.

There’s your problem, I’m pretty sure if it was a real gov site, it’d be .gov

I had no idea you could look up domains like that.

That’s what I thought, but maybe they contracted it to someone and they’re hosting it maybe.

That’s fair enough, but they would still probably provide the contractor with a legit .gov address so you’d know it wasn’t a scam.

A shitpost is more legitimate than this shit.

That’s saying a lot. Because shitposts are so legit the mods do it!

The WHOIS database is sweet, but a lot of domains registrations are masked by the registrars. It’s typically a paid option with the hosting company.

“GovDelivery” looks like a legit company, but like anything online if it even smells a bit scammy, there’s no loss in ignoring it.

It’s a scam, in fact I just read a little tidbit today about how Gmail users were being targeted with this stuff

Kinda like listed phone numbers.

Further drilling down, it might actually be legit:
