yea....they messed up at the copyright and I believe they should refer to you as your full name. There is a scam like that for Paypal that's going around.

I dont think those sites are ever supposed to contact you by email to verify shit. I dont think any sites are. I think ur supposed to actually change account stuff from the actual web page. and yah because they didnt contact you by name that should throw up a huge red flag.
