  I recieved a domain activation email from a suspicious looking address. Is this legit? I’m not sure why I am receiving it as I’ve not set up any new domains. Thanks.

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

  What address did the email come from?

  Sales at Secureserver… seems like a weird address, definitely didn’t seem like a WordPress address.

  Any communication from us will display WordPress.com in the address.

  Ok, thank you. I’ll delete and disregard this email. It seems like a phishing attempt.

  The sales @ secure server is from our domain partner. It is a legit email just not from WordPress.com. I’m not sure why you received the email if you have not recently purchased anything.
