Yes. I got two - one in December and one at the end of March. They were
about my replacement E-M5 Mk2, which I did register in December. The two
e-mails are the same, so I presume that they are both legit, though I
don't know why I got a second one. I'm not about to click on any of the
links.....

I got a phishing spoof Olympus email:
From: olympus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (though the detailed

After a genuine-looking blue and gold Olympus logo, the message started
YOUR REGISTRATION IS NOW COMPLETE
Hi laWRENCE,
Thank you for registering your Olympus OM-D E-M5.
Please keep this email for your records. Your product
registration summary is listed below.
Model Name: OM-D E-M5
Serial Number: (redacted)
And followed with links labeled with references to a *getolympus.com*
account, *sign up now*, an offer of 10% off accessories with a
click-box, and so on. All links actually went to two URLs at
links.mkt1931.com.
Whoever sent this had my email address, and the correct serial number
for the Mark I E-M5 that I bought 5-1/2 years ago! Other than
Olympus, where else would they have gotten the serial number from? I
can't imagine that the camera store had the serial number recorded in
a database.
Has anyone else gotten similar emails?
