Why is this important? Well this page explains it all. It’s just as important that marketeers can deliver their message consistently as it is for (potential) customers to be able to read and view the messages they want to read after they’ve given their permission to be contacted.

It certainly looks real enough so I can’t understand the phishing attempt unless I’m being completely gullible. I gave them my email address not an invitation to steal my identity. Then I look at the url and it says CheetahMail (aptly named) which of course is an Experian company, draw your own conclusions. I’d suggest somebody at Topshop needs a lesson in permission marketing. Now where’s that unsubscribe button?
