I received an email from Wizards101, or rather it says it is from the staff at KI, requesting verification of my email address so that i could stay connected. This got me to wondering, there are so many phishing attempts with other places might this also not be one? I was examined it for the website the "click here link" took me too, there was in it no indication of this belonging to KI. This started the old suspicion gears a turning at high speed.
I recon what I'm getting at is: A. Was this really from KI? B. If it was, how in the future can we ensure that an email received is valid? C. What should we do if we do get a bogus email?
I guess I'm a bit suspicious what with the Facebook incident.
