blocko1000 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I just recieved an email from geocaching.com about validating my account. Go to this link and put in your user name and password and your account will be active. The problem is, my account is active and the renewal date is Dec. 17th. I have had no problems with my account and was wondering if this is a phishing attempt using the geocaching.com name? Anyone else get this email? Link to comment
+SUp3rFM & Cruella Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Forward the mail to contact@geocaching.com (including the headers, etc). In the recent past, there was some glitch that sent some users a message for them to activate the account (which was already activated). Maybe it happened again. Nevertheless, I'd forward the mail if I had any doubt. Link to comment
+StarBrand Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 You sometimes have to re-validate your account if you have not logged in for a very long time. Link to comment
+Jaz666 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 You profile shows you as "Not Validated Premium Member", which could mean some recent emails to you have been bouncing back. It should be safe to click the link. Link to comment
+WeightMan Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 You do have to go through that after changing your email address. Did you just change that? Link to comment
blocko1000 Posted March 18, 2008 Author Share Posted March 18, 2008 I think I figured it out. I just changed my email address in my profile yesterday. Does it send out a email to your new address for you to validate? that is the only thing I can think of. Link to comment
