If you get an email like the example described below, do not click on any links in it. It is a dangerous, malicious email, and is not from us. The sender is trying to make you think you need to click a link to renew your domain, when actually what they're trying to do is scam you while likely also infecting your computer with a drive-by download of malware and/or harvesting your login information.
Data in brackets [like this] below indicates a variable that will be different for you, depending on your domain name, the current date, time, your own email address, etc. The link in the email example below has been disabled for your safety.
