"Important Notification"

Just got an email called "Important Notification" from an email account called mail@rateitall.com.

This is bogus. If you get something similar, delete it. Spammers and trolls scrape Web sites for email addresses - as lawrence@rateitall.com is listed publicly on the site, they grab the domain rateitall.com, and try and create deceptive messages using the "authority" of a real site.

The way to check if the message is bogus or not is to use the "Check Internet Headers" tool in your email client. If the email listed in the header does not match the email displayed, it's most likely bogus.

The only emails we send out are: New Message Notifications, New Item Submission Status, New Rating Alerts, Response to Feeback, and an occasional newsletter. If you see something that isn't one of those things, I would ignore it.
