Email telling me to confirm my registration? - General Discussion

Hey guys, I just got an email from no-reply@giantbomb.com

"Hey,

Thanks for signing up for Giant Bomb.

Click this link to activate your account: removed

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Just a friendly message from the duders at Giant Bomb."

The fuck is this? Is it because I checked out the new site beta? Or is it some kind of spam? Actually looking at the link right now it has the seaserpent start so it is probably having to do with the new site... Just kinda want to see if this is happening to other people as well.

EDIT: Also removed the link just in case any of you 1337 hacker duders can steal all my credit card info from it or something.

And the link is broken, too, since it refers to beta.giantbomb.com, which redirects to giantbomb.com, which redirects to an error message.

@Zacagawea: Thanks a ton! I figured it was something to do with the new site, but better safe than sorry and all that.

@Video_Game_King: For me it linked straight to the beta site homepage.
