For a change the language is virtually flawless (though I've never come across a company that's "devoted")... I might have been taken in (no, not really) if I haddnt noticed the date in the text (or that I've seen literally hundreds of these things and deleted every single one of them).
I changed the link, but in the email they dont even bother to hide the actual url, which pointed to some server in Germany... they are dumb.
