community@netgear.com email with a private message attached - is this from an official account?
1. Is the community@netgear.com an official email? I got a daemon error when I tried responding to it. 2. I don't see a private message here. I am not familiar with the site, but I see no indication...

Hello crazyoldhermit
I see your attachment now. FURRYe38 thanks for pointing that out.
The email you received is from our automated email server that sends out alerts from this community based on your engagement. For example, you may receive an email from community@netgear.com if you newly registered for an account, subscribed to a forum or discussion, receive a private message, and/or ranked up.
The private message summarized in the alert email IS a scam! I have taken the appropriate action so this user cannot spam anyone else in the community.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention!
Kind Regards,
Christine
I believe it is though I haven't seen anything from this address before. I can ask about it.
