dotster real or bogus email from Dotster?

[allanh]

I got this email from Dotster (?) this morning. Can a rep from Dotster confirm or deny whether this is actually from Dotster or is it from an ad agency just to confirm our emails?

But I would be wary of this one. If you received this stuff obviously the E-mail address on file is correct...

I agree. My feeling is that they are either going to install some spyware on my computer when I click it or confirm my email address.
