ALERT-Meadows Sccam

An alert to those in PA. I just got a very real-looking email claiming to be from Meadows, however a close check shows a gmail email address.

What does it say?

It looks like their regular website and such. But a look at the header shows the address it came from as meadoeswebpass@gmail.com and a subject line of "Web Winner Wonderland Giveaway."

It even hijacks the rest of the background of my webmail when I preview it by turning parts of the screen black.

That email appears to be legitimate to me. It is sent out through some commercial mass email system, and they just made a typo for the sending address.

If you click the button "automatically enter me for a las vegas trip & more" it does take you to the correct Meadows website.

Trust it at your own risk, a gmail address to me is a huge red flag.

Honestly I deleted it without even opening it until I saw it mentioned here.

Now that I look at my trashed emails, I see a similar one was sent on 11/3, exactly one month ago, except that one does not have the typo. It is from meadowswebpass@gmail.com via mail88.us4.mcsv.net. Actually, the one from yesterday does not have a typo either; it appears that was just your doing on this site. (meadoeswebpass@gmail.com)

I received these at a gmail address, which has very good spam detection, and it was not marked as such. Looking at the headers it shows it was sent via MailChimp, which is a commercial email service.

Okay, so you are pronouncing it to be legitimate. So thank you and thanks to the original poster who brought it up because it really is a "slightest suspicion" situation.

It reflects poorly on any company in any situation if their commercial emails arouse suspicion.

If it is legit then great. But I agree and ask what kind of casino sends their marketing emails from a gmail address?

Seriously, wasn't Little Caesars torn down years ago?

I think it is okay, but don't take my word for it. I would still follow AZDuffman's advice and be suspicious of it.

Anybody so inclined may want to contact them http://www.meadowsgaming.com/contact-us and ask about the gmail address. I agree and would think they should want info@meadowsgaming.com or a similar address instead.
