This is absolutely not a Plex affiliated service or offering. If anything, it suggests that mysafevpn.com is super sketchy and we would recommend using almost any other VPN service with your Plex Media Server.
Hey everyone. This is not us! We were also taken by surprise as many Plex employees received the same email, myself included. We’re seeing very similar emails going out from the same outfit to former Boxee users as well. We are investigating and reporting them to their service and mail providers, but believe this could be related to the 2015 forums breach.
Got the same email as well - two separate emails, one for each email included in the forum breach, so I think that’s how the email list was acquired. Glad to know it wasn’t you guys! The wording / branding just didn’t seem on point or as polished as your emails and blog posts generally are 
Flagged the email as spam. If lots of people do that then it should seriously affect their ability to send future email.

We’ve also reported them to their mail provider (MailChimp).
It went right to my spam folder in Gmail, but I also reported it as a possible phishing attempt to try and get Google to flag them.
