Is this email really from Cursor or a scam?

I’ve got an email from [email protected], the DKIM seems to be valid.

Yesterday, you were working on a task and hit your limit before it was done.
Here’s $50 in Cursor credit to finish it. Expires in a week.

The link in the email goes to a domain customeriomail.com.

Decoding the Base 64 string shows JSON with an email id and link that will open Cursor on my machine. I see nothing in the UI or my dashboard on the website.

Is this a serious email and offer or a scam attempt?

It would be nice if there would be any message in Cursor showing that offer as well. Even if the email should be valid, it would be good to know if I can trust it. I really would prefer an in-app notification than a suspicious email.

Hi @KGF Thank for reaching out! I can confirm this is authentic and from Cursor. I checked our records, and we did indeed send you that email 3 days ago.

Enjoy it in good health!

Best regards,

Awesome, thanks a lot!

And it was a good investment from your side, I bought the 200€ subscription. :see_no_evil_monkey:
