  I believe I got a false email from someone acting as wordpress with an email verification email. I clicked on it and it seemed fishy. Then the wordpress link was a broken link… I hope its not a virus! :( I’m thinking it was from someone data mining but I’m not sure. I just don’t believe it was from you. How would I know for sure?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there!

  The only notifications you should receive from us will have @wordpress.com in the email address.

  You should be safe as you’re on a Mac, but you may contact Apple Support just to see if there is anything you can do diagnostically.

  If you are ever concerned about the security of your WordPress.com account, you can take a look at the following support page for suggestions:

  Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks much!

  My pleasure. Email phishing scams and emailed malware links are so annoying. Who has time to be that malicious?! Best of luck :)
