Incorrect deadline email? sent by UCAS (stating deadline today)

After getting an email yesterday that its tomorrow 18:00, I got a new email today that its today 18:00 and it only listed that I have one offer despite me having 4. I assume this is an error?

Check it is genuinely from UCAS - and do not click on any links in the email.
If in any doubt about the email, or deadline dates, phone UCAS - 0371 468 0 468.

Seems like it’s from the same address I got the other emails with the correct information from, strange. I looked at the email with inspect element in case UCAS mail was spoofed but it seems the links point to the genuine UCAS site, so might have to give them a call.

Turns out the email was an error on UCASs side, hopefully they’ll send out an email to people affected as I’d think there would be multiple people confused by this. The real deadline is still tomorrow 18:00
