I got an email that really threw me for a loop. Most scam emails are easy for me to spot, but this one? At first glance, it looked legit, and honestly, I’m still not 100% sure.
It has the usual official-sounding stuff at the bottom: a California address, “@Disney 2024 All rights reserved,” and so on.
What caught my attention first was how “off” it felt. It seemed a bit pushy for a Disney reminder, and it didn’t clearly say what I was supposed to do. Was I supposed to pay something? Reset my password? Who knows.
Then there was the sender’s email: “do not reply @ talkfreight . ai.” That alone felt shady, but I ran it through a few “is this a scam” tools, and they said it was legit, which confused me.
When I clicked the link (yeah, I know), it took me to a site called “Disneyy-vodd dot com.” Two y’s in Disney? Come on. And “-vodd”? That’s not a Disney thing I’ve seen before.
The kicker is they sent it to an old email I used for Disney+ years ago, not my current account.
The email body and even the website look convincing until you notice the small details. Has anyone else seen something like this? Am I overthinking it, or is this a scam? Wanted to mark this as a scam report, but since I’m not totally sure, I figured I’d ask here first.
Just a heads-up for anyone posting here: you might start getting private messages from scammers claiming they know a hacker or recovery expert who can help you—for a fee, of course. These are recovery scams. Don’t take private advice; keep everything in the comments where others can help watch out for scams.
Also, remember the rules: no sharing personal contact details, no personal attacks, no scambaiting posts, and don’t post anything uncensored that could be upsetting. If you see rule-breaking content, use the report button. Stay safe out there!

Wait, you almost fell for talkfreight.ai? Really?
Yeah, didn’t notice the sender’s email until after I saw the sketchy URL. It threw me because I looked up the email, and even some scam-check sites said it was legit.

Even if it’s technically a legit domain, it’s clearly not from Disney. Like, Gmail is legit, but Disney isn’t going to email you from a Gmail address. Same deal here.
Keeping track of your finances can help with this. My subscription charges show up in my financial app days before they hit, so I don’t even look at random emails like this. If something seems off, log into your account the right way and check.

What 1% of this email made you think it could be legit when it’s clearly not from Disney?
Honestly, the graphics were really convincing, and the site looked legit if you ignored the URL. My email app also doesn’t show the sender unless I expand it, so at first, it just said “Disney+.”

How old are you? You seem either really young or really old.
Probably not the smartest idea to share my age here, but let’s just say I’m at the age where I usually spot scams right away. This one caught me because the graphics were better than most.
