**edit** : apparently this is a real app and the related thread about the app can be found [here](https://meta.discourse.org/t/fig-native-discourse-client-for-ios/148352). But the email messages sent were indeed unsolicited which is something not a lot of people enjoy.

Hi. I’m the admin of a discourse community and I’ve just received an email targeted at my organization, which I add bellow. I’ve replaced the name of my community with [community-name] and disabled links by replacing a “.” with “[dot]” just to make sure nobody clicks.

Has anybody else been targeted?
