elabs3.com "Free Java hosting offer for oDesk developers" question.
Did anybody receive any offer from elabs3.com pretending to be from oDesk?
I got one with the attributes:
---
From: "oDesk" noreply@odesk.com
Reply-To: noreply@odesk.com
Received: from mail35.elabs3.com (mail35.elabs3.com [208.66.204.135])

What is it elabs3.com ? Does anybody know? Are they related to oDesk?
Thanks.
It is from oDesk - not a scam

This is not a scam. This is indeed an offer from one of our partners, OStatic. The elabs3.com domain is from our email service provider and we use it to manage our email marketing lists.
Sorry for the confusion,
oDesk
Thank you for the info.

Most probarbly its a spam
I've also got this type of invitation mail for free java hosting.
I googled a bit and found something interesting-

Its a smart way of scam I guess. Alternatively, it is faking odesk as sender.
Better to hear from odesk about this. Otherwise, some members may get scammed.
