Hi, I received an email from crmarket...@airtel.in, I use airtel broadband but this is the first time they sent such a mail. The mail had an image attached which looks like a snapshot of some webpage. The weird part is the text of the mail, it's some sort of Non-disclosure Agreement which I'm supposed to automatically bind to as I open the mail, that's totally absurd. I spoke to Airtel CC and at first one person verified the mail but seemed quite unsure to me. He said it was only sent to 'special' customers which makes me wonder why I am a 'special' customer. After two more calls to CC, I was told to forward the mail to care....@airtel.in. They said that they would call me back in an hour. I am still waiting for that.

It looks more like a phishing attack. Sane advice would be not to open the attachment but my curiosity got the better of me and I had to check what this weird mail was. Since I have not received a good enough response from Airtel for a week now, paranoia is setting in :-) Anybody else received such a mail? P.S.: Apologies if this looks like a long rant, but its really confused me and googling around didn't help as I couldn't find anybody else facing this issue.
