This is a confirmation of the validity and accessibility of your email address, initiated by you or someone using your email address. Please copy the following number into the registration form and continue:

Confirmation #: **********

If you have problems completing this operation, or have no idea why you received this email, please contact [email protected].

Note that each time you submit a new registration form, you will be sent a new confirmation number. If you are disconnected from the Internet at any time during the registration process, this could invalidate the confirmation number, requiring you to start over.

I received that E-Mail not too long ago. Is this real? Oh, and I blocked out the Confirmation # incase you were wondering. The E-Mail Address did say [email protected]. I only posted this because I know a lot of E-Mail frauds were going by about BYOND. I have been playing BYOND for years and years and I get this? Why? I did not want to contact him because if this is fake I do not want to disturb him and if it a hacker, that link might be hacked. I do not know but if you can, please tell me if you think this E-Mail is real, thank you.

It might be true. I did a quick whois search. I came up with newdream.net which then leads to dreamservers.net which I know I have been told are like affiliated with BYOND or something...

" If you are disconnected from the Internet at any time during the registration process, this could invalidate the confirmation number, requiring you to start over. "

This line bugs me a lot, makes it seem fake. Possibly just an attempt to keep you on the net because of some spyware computer. But that is just me.

It's legitimate. If someone else entered your email address into the form, you can safely ignore it because you got the confirmation #, not the other person.

Mike would know, he built the BYOND website. I think this has to do with password resets, but I could be mistaken. I recieved one once, forgot why, but I know I had initialized it.

Or change your Email, or change any main setting I think.

CHanging your e-mail is recorded as a "dime Transfer", I'm pretty sure you don't receive this message

I have created two new Key Names. One of them was eight months ago and the other was three months ago. I never received one for the one created eight months ago so I am guessing this E-Mail is for the one created three months ago. In my opinion, that is way too long to have received this E-Mail. Also, I created those other two Key Names under different E-Mail Addresses (obviously).
