I just received this 40 minutes ago. First thing I noticed was that the Bitcoin address was different. Is this a scam? The email header looks looks like its coming from some paint company...



Header, obfuscated for my personal email.

Yes, the address is different from the legit donation page. Also, I never heard before that bitcointalk is sending any email to it's users about donation for having a donator or vip status. Anyway, you still need to PM theymos before donating so I think if this is a scam, it won't work.
