You have been specifically chosen to trial the new LEGO® VIP digital card!

I received an official-looking email today with the above title. First I've heard about it.

 

Is this a legit LEGO thing, or a scam? It had my correct email address on it, but not my name.

(Sorry if this is posted in the wrong place; I couldn't find any related threads despite searching).

I'm also in the UK, but haven't seen the email. Have you tried calling Customer Services on 01753 495730? Never call a number in an email that you don't trust, an incorrect name is normally a warning sign. I also can't see anything with LEGO VIP on the Google Play store.

Thanks for the info, but:

Looks like it is legitimate then. Thanks.

I got the same email

Yes it just adds the VIP card to you wallet. I’m hoping it will give me updates to the local store here on events. Missed out on the last Minifigure deal

The thing that gave me pause was that the links went to this site, not LEGO's site:

That's what mine is. I had a choice of which one to add.

That also does not read like proper English.  Having an email doesn't mean anything, Lego may have been hacked.

I lost my black vip card, so I have that going for me.

I am not one of the chosen.

But I did get the email to join ebay Bucks. So thats a plus! Am I a cool kid now?

[Bold-Arrow]

I went black . 

[LegoMan1212]

meh, i'm deleting the email.  Last thing I need are more notifications on my phone.  Anything above 0 is enough.

FYI: Spoke w/ LEGO customer service and this invitation is currently limited to those with black VIP cards, with expansion to all members later.
