FYI, I plugged the URL in the e-mail into Opera; it forwards to a secure MetLife site. Very poor design if you ask me. Reeks of phishing even if it's not.

It is probably not phish. BigFoot is a notorious "optin" sender of unwanted ads. To use their service(s) they tell you in ultra fine print that you then agree on getting "relevant" promotions from them. Even when you leave using their "services" the UCE continues. Since they do have "sigup" and "optin" records, legitimate advertisers get sucked in. I have a niece that got sucked into their "free" websites and we had to have her discontinue it and I created a new one for her becuase even though she left using the services she was still getting tons of UCE. Here we treat them as if they were classic spammers and block their emails. They aren't phisherman; they're just unethical marketers. Tom
