Legit or phishing?

Hi everybody,

my ESO Plus expired and I've just received an email offering me a free month if I subscribe again.
Is this legit or a phishing attempt?
The sender and link in the email are not necessarily from Bethesda and I can't find any info about such an offer online.

This is the text of the email.


We noticed that you just cancelled your ESO Plus membership, and we'd like to see if we can tempt you back with a special one-time, buy one month, get one month free offer.

As you probably know, there's a lot of cool stuff that comes with ESO Plus membership:

Access to all DLC Game Packs including Orsinium, the Imperial City, the Thieves Guild and the brand new Dark Brotherhood.
1500 Crowns per 30-day membership to spend in the in-game Crown Store.
Access to the exclusive Craft Bag for additional inventory space shared across all characters
A 10% bonus to character progression.
If you would take us up on this unique, one-time offer and buy one month of ESO Plus to receive one month free, simply respond to this email. We'll get back to you as soon as possible with more information. Hurry, as we are only able to offer this deal for a week.

In addition, if there is anything at all we can do to help make your overall ESO experience better, please let us know. We're here to help!


Warm Regards,
Petyr

    What was the address of the sender?

    Are they asking you to input your Account Name and Password anywhere but the official Account Portal here?

    The sender is a mailer which may be legit (Sony uses sh** like this): teso_help@mailmw.custhelp.com

    The link in which to enter the creds is an ow.ly address which will forward me, but I didn't click it, I'm pretty paranoid.

    Obsiously, the email sender may be forged, there's no way you can actually tell if an email comes from a presumed address or not.
