Hey all, I received an email that appears pretty legitimate. It was saying I was approved for the camera grant. I may have applied for the camera, but don’t know for sure…
It actually passed the DKIM sender policy for [meta.com](http://meta.com)… Im a bit skeptical anymore…

I guess I should say as well, I would happily participate in the program and make additional contributions if this was legit.

I also got this email too and have not applied for the camera grant previously, was a little skeptical at first but it seems pretty legit as far as I know
