Well, since it's way past October 13, I guess it's safe to say no deposits will be accepted  Grin

Well, that makes it pretty clear it's not from bitcointalk.org. I reckon you'd be doing the community a service if you updated the OP to explain how to check where an email is from.

It's just a shame that the domain bitcoin.org doesn't have an OPENSPF record
