I go the email below from noreply@strava.com

Fran Porter just left this comment on Evening Ride:
Nice! Have a free year of Strava Premium on us! www.strava.ml

I don't know Fran Porter
I don't have Strava Premium

I did go on an evening ride last night
I would accept 1 years free premium just to see if I use it.

A) Delete the email and forget about it
B) Click on the link and get a years Premium Strava
C) Click on the link and get a nasty little virus

Take your pick : A, B or C

Here's a hint - go to strava.ml and then tell me if it asks for your credentials and tells you you've been selected to win an Xbox One or similar...

Proper got the worm on the end of a rod there.
This is why phishing works, tempt the person with stuff they would really like.

Lol had a look at that site. Try and navigate the other menus. Yup they don't work. I'm going to nosey at this in a sandbox when I get back to work. It may prove a useful training aid for me. So cheers for that at least.

Yeah interesting one that.
Similarly I received two Strava follow requests from fairly 'agile' looking ladies, neither of which had any accumulated miles on their account. Decided the photos probably did not represent the people that were attempting to follow my riding. "Decline" thanks.
