After I tried to log in, I never got any hosting options. I tried emailing them but email [email protected] didn't resolve. If it's a scam, then what are the consequences of logging in with this code?

The way it's written - with both grammar and spelling
mistakes, one has to wonder if it's legit...

As for the code, when you clicked the link
did it log you into your google account automatically?
or did you have to enter your password?

Either way, I'd change it

I think it's a scam, because if you click on that link in FireFox, it gives you a web forgery warning meaning the site is most likely not legit.

It has a lot of grammatical/typo errors. I think it is not from Google.

Stu, change your google password.

Also make sure there are no 'filters' or 'pop forwards' setup in your account.

Smells like a scam.

Just change your password, as suggested above.

The email is full of grammar mistakes... You should've realized that it's a scam.
