Hi, I just received this email, is it legit?

Hey @CandyMan_ZA! This is correct! As of the 25th of May, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) comes into effect, and there are some important changes for you to be aware of. For information, please head to: http://www.samsung.com/uk/info/privacy/ If you have any further queries, please ask!:robothappy:

Thank you for the reply Carolina, I was very sceptical about clicking on that link in the "OPT-IN NOW" button, it looked suspect and I suspected it to be a physhing or malware attempt. As I am sure many people would have also. The whole email in fact looked suspect to me :smileysurprised:
