OK, so I decided to start a Flickr account so I could show pictures of my lovelies. But after I set it up the account with the code they sent me, I got another e-mail, supposedly from Flickr, that I needed to click on a link in order to be able to use my new account. So naturally I became alarmed and did not dare click on the link. Does this sound right to you guys or do you think it is a phishing attempt?

Been a while since I opened my account but could it be an e-mail verification?

I think legit, not uncommon to have to do that. I've been with Flickr long enough I don't remember if I had to do that or not.

I'm on Flickr. I don't remember either. If you hover over whatever it says is the sender, you will see the complete sender email address. scrutinize it for oddities. Might have to click on it.
If none, probably from Flickr.
I've been getting a lot of phishing from "amazon " lately.
Good luck!

HAve you thought about using our RTH site's Rock Show to post pictures? PM Tommy and he will get you set up with a free trial account. We're non profit and so a lifetime of not losing your pictures in a few years or maybe a few weeks. Flicker might just follow a similar route as P Bucket did.

That is a legit email. I got the same thing and clicked on it with no issue.
