  I recieved several emails that look legit that say my blog is about to expire but my email security says the url text and host do not match. Is this actually a phishing attempt or do they have a domain issue?

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

  Go to your Dashboard Upgrades page and check if you have upgrades that are going to expire, that’s the easiest way to check. Then pay from that page, rather than via email.

  A whois shows your domain name needs to be renewed by July 17 – use your dashboard >> stores to renew – a common scam is to send email or letters to domain name holders and try and get you to sign up for a real expensive unneeded service – as raincoaster said above – don’t renew on an email unless you know for sure you are on the right site – scams abound
