Argos £30 eGift card - is it fake or real?

Hi I have received an email from Argos Gift Card Management Portal - the sender email is noreply@vexrewards.com

im wondering if it is real? I don’t usually click links in emails from unknown senders. I’m quite suspicious about it but it would come in handy right now the £30 if it is real.

Update: I spoke to my support worker on the phone and he applied for a bed for me because I’m supposed to be moving into my own home but I haven’t got the keys yet and that voucher was to buy bedding. He said he meant to tell me about it. Mystery solved.

sounds really suspicious to me dont open it unless you know someone has sent you a gift. Here is something similar from 2019.

here are details by Argos themselves about Scams. You could forward it to them to check out.

In my opinion I would be suspicious, nothing is free.

If you think it might be genuine perhaps contact Argos and ask them. Just don't click on any links in the email if your unsure.

Good luck

I think even legitimate rewards come at some cost.

If there is a registration needed then that's data they're getting from you. Also, it's time spent on your behalf.

Some vouchers have quite tight conditions. Some people love doing these for the fun of avoiding the loopholes whereas others get fed up with having their time wasted.

It might be legitimate and ok. I don't know this one.

If it feels like it's been given as a free lunch - ie too good to be true - then, generally/statistically, it usually is too good to be true.

That's my thoughts at least.
