Received the following email (also an SMS) a couple of days back:
Email headers check out, and links are genuine and valid. So took the email seriously. Could not find anything suspicious at my end, so finally called up Customer Care. They told me to ignore the email if I wanted!!
Feeling blind-sided.
Diwali Greetings
