I think the give away is that they don't address you with your name.

PS, if you use the QF password on any other sites, it's best to change those too.

Absolutely agree, in hindsight. It's been a shocking day, up until 1 am last night on a proposal, in/out around appointments this morning, check email and just clearing everything off, I was way too efficient.
