User faking Stardock affiliation - SCAM Alert

from WinCustomize Forums
Some "person" is sending emails from a yahoo account purporting to be from Stardock in what appears to be a rather pathetic attempt to get your user name and serial number.

Please disregard any emails you receive like the following. This person is not affiliated with Stardock in any way.
