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 headers  show a source of mkt1931.com)

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?
