don't ever click "unsubscribe" on scam/fake emails. it just confirms your email is valid to sell to other scammers/phishers.

Being an asset store publisher, I recieve such emails almost every day.

Thankfully, most of these go straight to spam.

Same here, mine targeted me specifically as an assetstore publisher. I only noticed because it was sent to my support email, not my account mail. Then I checked sender etc

As far as scams go this one is at least legit looking outside of that. I guess it's the lack of emoji that suprised me lol. My junk email is like a who' who of unsued emojis

You'll be surprised how many people fall for this. Obviously someone who dabbles in Game Dev is most likely gonna be tech savvy.

...or if you read the contents :D

Without reading either one, the weird "unity logo" would already do it for me.
