Are you sure it's genuine? Those WWD domains (especially

SecureServer.net is GoDaddy.

If you have domains hosted at GoDaddy or a reseller, your customer 
notifications come from that domain.

Following up to myself: I understand that you can still get phishes 
purporting to be from them. But if you can verify that the message came 
from secureserver, don't write it off as a phish without doing some 
further checking.
