Anyone else get an email from an Mturk product manager?

"
I am a Product Manager on the Amazon Mechanical Turk team. I’m reaching out to you today because we noticed calls coming from your browser contain extra data and may not be compatible with new features we’re adding. This could be a conflict with a third party script. Can you tell me what browser you’re using and the names of the scripts you use, if any?


Thanks,
"

 

seems legit

 

Scripts can't add extra data to your browser calls. And just everything about this seems fishy as shit lol.

 

Email is from an actual @amazon.com and the person's name and position matches Linkedin.

 

Fishy as heck.

 

Are you using a normal browser like Chrome or FF?
