What is this?
They have my adress, how come? -
No, this does not mean that someone hacked your account. Unless you registered your domain with a “WHOIS privacy” option, your name and contact information are publicly available.
Look up “Domain SEO Service Registration Corp.” on Google. You will see lots of reports calling the company’s offering a “scam”.
And then ignore/delete that e-mail.
At WordPress.com, you don’t need to buy any kind of SEO services.

It is a scam – I get them on a regular basis – last one had a “lifetime” offer for only $495.-I think – – – it is a glorified search engine register thing – no real value – you don’t really need to register your blog with a search engine to have your blog indexed – they are just trying to scare you

I see. I don’t remember to share my adress online on any sites… Thats strange for me..
Thank you for your fast answer
Have a nice day airodyssey :)

if you have a custom domain name there needs to be contact info visible to the public for the domain – so when someone does a whois the contact info comes up – the privacy option puts a third party between you and the public
