As reported earlier here at GameGrep, Dreamcast.com has been asking Dreamcast owners whether they do own the console, and register for a Dreamcast email address tied to the Gmail account you specify. Many people believed it to be tied to the console's 10th anniversary. Unfortunately for those who already have submitted their emails, Sega no longer owns the domain, which means that this site is an attempt to phish your Gmail account. DO NOT SUBMIT YOUR PERSONAL DETAILS TO DREAMCAST.COM.

"Do you still own a Dreamcast?" asks dreamcast.com. By all appearances, the supposed official site of Sega's cherished console has received a legitimate update, exciting loyalists that have been anticipating the system's 10-year anniversary later this year. By clicking on the question, visitors are prompted to accept a user agreement for an @user.dreamcast.com email account (apparently tied to Gmail). Applicants must supply a console serial number, email address, and password before being granted a [serial number]@dreamcast.com Gmail address.

    Surprised Sega didn't retain the domain, to stop things like this happening. I thought it was common sense that a scam could be pulled using it.

    I agree, they really should have kept the domain, I bet a lot of people have already sent in their emails...

    SEGA could have given me the domain name if they didn't want to keep it. Way to look after your intellectual properties!
