I just renewed the SSL certs for a bunch of domains and now for one of them I am getting the following email:
"Secure Certificate Customer,
We have received a Certificate Signing Request for the following domains:
www.stockcontrollerapp.com
Our query of the Whois database returned your name as the administrator for the domain in the certificate request.

Approval of the request will enable us to continue processing your request. Failure to approve the certificate request will lead to denial of the request.

If the Verification Page requests it, please use the following Verification Key: [KEYREDACTED]
This part of our authentication process serves to ensure that only the entity/individual that controls the domain in the request can obtain a certificate for that domain.

My domain registrar thinks that it is genuine however have suggested I check with SSL provider. Can anyone tell me if this is legit, I’ve had the domain nearly 2 years and for 9 months it has been on a Linode server with LetsEncrypt for SSL and this is the first email like this although I am now getting them daily. I have not clicked the link.
Thanks
Simon
