spam from 30DC?

[Dandare]

First of all: the contact form on Thirty Day Challenge - Contact Us simply doesn't work.

Now, I've got email that claims to be related to 30DC but looks totally like spam to me. It's not from @thirtydaychallenge.com, the disclaimer looks like marketing bullshit all three domains from that email (wuranga.com, danraine.com and rainecloud.com) are empty/suspicious.

Is it a spam or someone did such bad job? If it is a spam how do they got my address in relation to 30DC if not from 30DC database? I am concerned.

here is the mail:
from dan@danraine.com
to ***@gmail.com

subject Thirty Day Challenge Update

Hi Gang,

Dan here, and I can't believe it has been nearly
seven weeks. since the Thirty Day Challenge
finished... truly spooky... Time flies soooo quickly.

But firstly I just really wanted to shoot out a quick
email to let you know just how much of an impact
you guys have had.

As you know, the Thirty Day Challenge's official
charity is Kiva, and you guys have done an
amazing job helping us support this fantastic
charity, in-fact, so far, we have managed to
generate a truly awesome $27,825 in loans, which
in my opinion is uber cool...

So thanks, I really do appreciate it.

Secondly, Ed and I have been working on some
cool things for you guys, and in a few days time
I am going to be shooting you an email with
details on a great WordPress plugin we have for
you. There are lots of ways to use this but we will
explain that shortly... (sorry, sidetracked)

But what I really wanted to find out in this email...
is how YOU are doing... and what YOU want to
know, really, I want some feedback, ... and some
questions.

I know that there are loads of you right now taking
part in the challenge, loads of you who have
already completed the challenge, and of course
a huge bunch of you who are just about to start
the challenge... Sooo...

What we really want to do is hold a massive Q&A
session, a chance for you guys to give us feedback,
ask us questions, give us everything you have got.
(sounds scary).

So, if you have questions, feedback, insults, praise,
or anything in-between, then please, please, please,
shoot us an email at the following address and we
will try our best to answer your questions.

The address is:
challenge@wuranga.com

Once we have the questions in, Ed and I will record
a show and attempt at some answers.

Ok, guys and gals, I look forward to your response,
and thanks for listening / reading me drone on.

we never *ever* email you unless you have asked to be
contacted. if you never want to hear from me again (yes
I accept that fact), then all you need to do is hit the

from me again... really... never again...

Hi Dandare,

I've moved your query to the help forums because it's not general 30dc chat related.

OK, re: your first question, the contact form does work and I've just checked it to make sure. The issue is that it goes to an email address which is checked manually and response times aren't immediate.

The second thing is that this message isn't spam, it was sent by Dan Raine, and all the domains listed all belong to him.

If you don't wish to receive any mails from Dan then hit the unsubscribe link at the bottom of the email as it says.

Cheers,
Jon.
