Q u o t e:
The last one is definitely a fake. Its very out of context and has multiple spelling errors. The thing that worries me is the fact it came from the same email address as the legit one. If someone who can acctually type properly sends me a email from this address how are we supposed to know if its safe?

Our sticky specifically explains this, please read the stickies before making new threads:
