What is this product.... And why have I been invited to partake as an agent..??? Can you get paid

[William Kavanagh]

I don't understand why I have been invited to use this product or what it really is all about...if I'm an agent does that mean I'll get paid from it..?

Hello @William Kavanagh ! Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Be careful with the invitation email!  I've seen several threads here and elsewhere that this could be a phishing attack.

The biggest clue I saw was that the email address was listed as "e.atlassian.com"

[William Kavanagh]

Yes...thank you..the email begins with e.atlassian.... but how is it a phishing scam... They only asked me to join this community or start using the Jira product... They also have only asked for me verify my invitation  through an email ...so no  bank details or other important info just my email which they already had hence the invitation..??

[William Kavanagh]

Also what is the atlassian community and what is for..??
