Hello,
You are receiving this message because your email address is associated with an unmigrated legacy Blogger account.

Any blog content associated with this account will also be unmodifiable after that date.
To transfer your blog to the Google Account system you need to visit the Legacy Migration page at http: //www.google.com/appserve/mkt/e6dzyWgBsYcloD right now to make sure that your account and associated blogs are claimed.

Huh? I've never had a blogger account -- or any account, in fact -- at Google. I don't even know what a "legacy Blogger account" is.
A search (yes, Google search), using "unmigrated legacy Blogger account," brought up all kinds of discussion, questions, and conflicting answers at various websites. Me, I think it's a mistaken mailing at best and a scam at worst. I'm sure as hell not going to respond or click on any of the links. (I added a space between the http: and the // in the links above in case anyone clicks on them by mistake.) Can anyone shed some light on this? (Without putting yourself and personal information at risk, that is.)
