dear friends, I got a mail from blogger yeserday like this below:
Dear Blogger user,
This is a message from the Blogger Team. In order to maintain a free, high quality service, we use an automated classifier to identify spam blogs. [1]
This system has detected that your blog has characteristics that resemble spam. Since you're an actual person reading this, your blog is probably not a spam blog. Automated spam detection is inherently fuzzy, and we sincerly apologize for this erroneous result.
You won't be able to publish posts to your blog until we review your site and verify that it is not a spam blog. To request a review, please fill out the form found here:
http://www.blogger.com/unlock-blog.g?blogID=36299035
We'll take a look at your blog and unlock it in less than one business day. Please note, if we don't hear from you, we will remove your blog within 20 days. If the blog at http://workfromhome-onlinejobs.blogspot.com does not belong to you, then no action is necessary on your part. Any other blogs you may have will not be affected.
By using automated classification systems we've been able to dedicate more storage, bandwidth, and engineering resources to users like you instead of spammers. Thanks for your understanding.
Sincerely,
The Blogger Team

Most of the times you get spam emails similar to that.And in any case if you are getting spams on your website go directly to blogger.com and report this issue to them.Dont reply or give any details to such emails.instead try to contact the team itself.

yes this spams should be put off from net; its nice service from gmail that they're disabling the links in spam mails. for ex. if you get a duplicate mail similar to paypal then the links in that mail will not be hyperlinked so that we'll not be taken to the idiot spam's website, where they used to collect our username and password.

I think its a spam mail. Such spam mails keep coming sometimes, so just ignore it. But if its really from the blogger, then reply to the mail to know what exactly is the problem.

Let us know if you email the Blogger staff and what they say to you in reply. I'm interested to know, if that email was sent from them and is not spam, why they defined your blog as containing spam. I wish I had some suggestions for you that haven't already been mentioned!
Good luck,

Copy the headers from the original email and email the support staff at blogger. They are by law required to make sure it is not a spam email. If they agree it is really true go ahead and use the links they provided. I would contact them first however just to make sure.

First I would make sure that this is not a spam email. I get stuff like this all the time that looks like it came from the reputable company but it is really spam. My email shows the actuall url when you mouse over a link in the email and that is how I really know because usually the url doesn't match what is actually in the email.
Second, if you aren;t sure then log into your blogger account the way you normally do and not from the link in the email. See if there is any warning in your account.
Finally, if you are still not sure about the email, send an email to blogger admin through your account and ask them about it. Let them know that you are not sure if the email came from them or if it is spam and if it really did come from them you would be glad to discuss the issue with them.
My guess is that the email is spam and someone is trying to get your information.
It never hurts to double check everything. Good luck.

Hello,
Your blog has been reviewed, verified, and cleared for regular use so that
it will no longer appear as potential spam. If you sign out of Blogger and
sign back in again, you should be able to post as normal. Thanks for your
patience, and we apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.

I would suggest that you first ensure this is a genuine mail. Write to Blogger seperately, do not use the reply button of your email service. Ask them that whether they have really send this mail to you and explain your position at the same time.

First, make sure it is not spam email. Log in to you blogger account from your bookmark (not from the link from that message). If you still can publish your content, that it's okay.
Second, maybe this is new rules from blogger due to many duplicate contents on blogspot.

new rules from blogger that we can copy articles from others (or other writers/authors) but we should place a link about the author or writer's site so blogger'll not mind this as issue.

I think you should write back to them and tell them about this mail you received.Confirm whether they actually sent it. I am sure if the cause is genuine and you are not putting any spam blogs you will get to your previous status after their verification.

I would trust that your HTML is fine but Blogger simply hasn't updated your Blog yet. The "Template" part of your Dashboard has the updated code but even when you Republish, Blogger simply does not update that new code! That's happened to my blog many times. I am very unhappy with Blogger and at that point, I usually save all my posts and re-start the entire blog from scratch. Give up to a week for it to update... sometimes you'll get lucky.

I would cut and paste that link into a browser window and check out that form.
Are you locked out from posting? If so then the email is no hoax. I got one of these from blogger about in June. I could log on to my account, but I could no post new articles. I filled out their thing and then within 2 days it was back to business.

Any updates on this yet? I am curious.
Have you attempted to log on to your blogger and create a new post? That will show you if the email is real or if it is spam. I honestly believe that this is not a spam message and would hate to see your account get cancelled just because you were worried that the message was fake.
Like I said before, my blogger account was temporarily locked out back in May. I found out about this because it would not let me create new posts. READ: I could log on so it was not a password issues, I instead was getting errors when trying to submit a post. A few hours later I got the email (which sounded fairly similar to yours).
I responded to their email (as per the instructions) and about 2 days later my account was back up and running.
Good luck.
