The body of the email is:

It's that time of year again. ICANN (the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) annually requires that all accredited registrars ask their domain administrators/registrants to review domain name contact data, and make any changes necessary to ensure accuracy.

 

To review/update your contact data, simply:

+ Go to http://www.securepaynet.net/gdshop/rhp/def...imple&isc=ICANN

+ Click on the "ICANN" text link at the top left side of the page

+ You will be taken to a landing page and asked to enter your Domain Information key: domainkeyhere

+ Enter your key and click "Go."

 

Next, simply review the contact information for each domain name. To make a correction, log in to "My Account" with your customer number or log in name and password. Click "Manage Domains" and then "Manage Contacts." If you find that your domain contact data is accurate, there's no need to take action.

 

If, however, your domain contact information is inaccurate, you must correct it. (Under ICANN rules and the terms of your registration agreement, providing false contact information can be grounds for domain name cancellation.) To review the ICANN policy, visit: http://www.icann.org/registrars/wdrp.htm

 

Should you have any questions, please email us at mailto:support@secureserver.net or call our customer support line at 480-624-2500.

That is a legitimate ICANN requirement. We run 2 domain registration sites here at TCH and send similar reminders to our customers as well. Many registrars however offer a masking service for registrants who don't want their information made public. We offer and call this 'securewhois'.
