Scams like these

A gambling promotion. Certainly a gamble clicking the link.
They spoofed a credible sender, but the link is a page on sendibt3.com - I wonder if they know they are being exploited for phishing.
"casinoproper" also appears to be a valid online gambling site (as far as that can be "valid")

I was very preoccupied trying to get through a stack of emails and opened one from Flybuys asking me to login in and dumb cough, I did.
Have changed all passwords, but no matter how careful you usually are, you can still get caught out.
Am hoping no repercussions
A timely warning for all.

Yes, if you don’t have your wits about you 100% you can be deceived. My wife received the “QFF points expiring” email so I acted upon it Surely the offer to get a MacBook for ridiculously low points should have alerted me. I only had to pay postage using her credit card Thankfully my good wife questioned the offer and we cancelled her card. With modern technology her digital card was still able to be used and only the physical card had to be replaced.

Simple universal rule, never click on a link in an email.
