Now i've never heard of this kiropets site in my life so i have never visited it.
It states my neopets username
The email address that it was sent to is not the email address associated with my neopets account however i use it for some fan sites to sign up to forums
My email address doesn't have any association with my neopets account (the usernames are not simialar)

Im confused at how all this has happened, how have they linked my email address to my neopets account and now sending me an email about a site ive never visited.
I don't want to go to that site in case there is a CG or anything like that.

Has anybody heard of something like this before? Should i be worried? What should i do?

I got two of those emails as well, I did have an account with them a very loooong time ago, but I didn't even think they were still running. I never bothered to go check the site so who knows, my username was different from my neo-name but I did have the same email for them at the time. It never hurts to play it safe though...

Kiropets, urrgh, I've been there before. I wouldn't trust 'em. Firstly because the site has sexual adds and content, and all of those rumors that the owner is a hacker. And with what you've got there, that could very well be true. :O

I can't believe you even have to ask. Use common sense.
