Received Suspicious E-mail From "WordPress.com"

    Received an e-mail that reads as follows:

    “We noticed that you still need to verify your email address. ICANN requires that we temporarily put your website on hold if you fail to verify your address. Please take care of it right away to avoid disruption of services.

    All you need to do is click the button below (it only takes a few seconds). You won’t be asked to log in to your WordPress.com account — we’re simply verifying ownership of this email address. “

    Although it appears that “WordPress.com” is the sender – when I clicked on that “name” the actual e-mail address is “(email visible only to moderators and staff)”. And it also did not come to the e-mail address that is associated with my wordpress site – nor does it reference my actual wordpress site by name.

    Also, this site has been up for a couple months now and this e-mail came out of the blue.

    Not sure it is legitimate? Any help or thoughts would be appreciated.

    Thanks

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

    Hi there!

    Did you activated you WordPress.com account already?
    If you already did that ignore this email.

    Regards.
