    I am reciveing promo emails which say they are from dell epp (coupons/offers). However the "details" links all go to "http://member.r.delivery.net/r....."

    So, are these emails genuine ?
    I think they are fake, just wanted to confirm.

    I'm almost 100% certain they are. To my knowledge, Dell does not have ANY ???.net web addresses. My best guess is that clicking on that link will either download a virus or spyware onto your computer, or officially log your email into a "please spam" list.

    I'd be willing to bet if you pulled the original IP out of the headers and searched it at Arin, you'd find the mail originated in Korea, Brazil, Poland...... etc
