domainadmin.com phishing spam email that isn’t.

Registered a new domain name this evening and very quickly received what looked very much like a phishing email from domainadmin.com

The email itself:

> From: PGregg [mailto:xxx@example.com]

> Sent: 24 June 2014 23:26

> To: xxx@example.com

> Subject: VERIFICATION REQUIRED – Please verify your domain name(s) as soon as possible

In order to ensure your domain name remain active, you must now click the following link and follow the instructions provided:

Failure to follow the above link and complete this process will eventually lead to the suspension of your domain name(s).

If you have any questions, please contact us.
