odd email from RIM? please help
- Well, I got a Bold 9560 yesterday (factory refurb, but VZW certified) and this morning I got an odd email from what seems to be RIM.
Here is a screenshot of the email... I can't be sure whether it is legit or someone trying to hack my phone, it just looked a bit odd...
Basically after that paragraph there is just a bunch of numbers and letters (code I guess), and a set of numbers at the bottom that is a link to something. Plus the attachment (which I have NOT opened).
I can post more of the email if you guys would like.
What exactly should I do?03-22-11 07:41 AMLike 0 - Well, I got a Bold 9560 yesterday (factory refurb, but VZW certified) and this morning I got an odd email from what seems to be RIM.

It looks like messages that are used to confirm connections, either to BES or to something different. It could be that if you installed Desktop Manager onto your computer, you may have picked BES and your BB is trying to confirm.
I also remember seeing messages like that a couple of years ago when the first beta testing was being done on BBM.03-22-11 07:49 AMLike 0 - I'm not on BES. My phone is for personal use (I'm in high school...)
I just hope its not something trying to hack my device.
Ill leave it alone and just let it do its think though.
Thanks for the quick repies!

- John YesterRetired SuperstarI Would follow to step 1 and check. Make sure it's not installed that way. Also Check Service books, just in case.03-22-11 12:45 PMLike 0

- I don't know much about this email... but...
I don't know how your carrier support line work... my phone company have 24/7 technical support and I had an issue with email service books once and I called them and they test the connections for me and re-pushed the service books.
If you want to be on the safe side, I would call for help from the carrier. That's what I would do for sure.03-22-11 09:49 PMLike 0
