Even when you dig for info it looks dubious. It would be entirely different if it was documented somewhere else besides this thread in this forum which is the only official information you get from googling dreamhostregistry.
Heck yes. I got one of these last month and clicked on it without hesitation. Firefox with NoScript which disables Javascript and various other things is what I use. Just a note: I actually still get an almost-identical scam via snail-mail hardcopy every year or so. I still doubt. Firstly, the message is horribly translated into German. Secondly the whois information given in the email is different from the one that is given when I look into my DreamHost account and check the information there.
If this is not a scam, why is there a random address in the email? If whois privacy is turned on, a proxy email address is generated. DavidCary August 17, , am 1.

I Googled around a bit and many folks felt it was Spam. So I just deleted them and went about my day. So I resent the mail and the spam-like message immediately showed up. At that point I should have just assumed it was not spam. I clicked on the verification link to raa. So this message is legit. It is an interesting question as to the possible harm that we do when legit messages look so much like spam and then turn out not to be spam.
It took me 3 weeks to figure this out.
