That email, and that url, appears to me to be fake.

It doesn't look like any messages I've received from the Embassy. This message is sloppy and unprofessional looking.

Somebody else can click on the attacments and urs and let me know if your computer starts smoking. I've been getting enough malicious attachments and urls from scammers/hackers lately to fill anyone's inbox.

"This email is UNCLASSIFIED"

Yeah, right!

So, yes, the url doesn't work, yet. Try it again on Friday.

I'll not be participating but, as with last year's Web Chat, it was interesting to read the transcript when it came on line.

Not a fake, got the email yesterday.

Its on their Twitter feed as well, so it appears to be legit.
