I get an email from them that say's the following:
 
"Hi Kevin,

Thanks for buying EVGA GeForce GTX 970
04G-P4-3975-KR 4GB SSC GAMING w/ACX 2.0+, Whisper Silent Cooling Graphics
Card. Now check this out, people who bought what you bought are all
over this stuff."
 
 
*I never even bought the card, or anything lately from them. I better check my CC statement to make sure no one used it.

    That's def a weird and worrisome situation xray. What did the cc card info come up with? Hopefully newegg just included your email in a mistaken targeted promo brotha.

    Well, NewEgg's domain name is registered with Network Solutions and this email.newegg.com domain appears to be setup with "Exact Target," and is more than likely a phishing attempt as the subdomain does not even retain an IP Address and is using generic Name Servers.

    I got a couple more emails. Seems when I search for a product like a video card, or ram, they have sent a couple more emails saying congrats on your purchase of that product. So, it's nothing for me to worry about, but I have to admit it's a dumb email to send. Newegg needs to think of something different. They are making themselves look silly. Not to mention making people worry their CC number may have been stolen.
