    Ugh, I hate these, Now I'm getting them for this game too?! I think SE should change that login back to its original form. Though its already too late for our own emails, it can prevent the spam of new people who sign up after launch.

    SE doesn't get hacked some fansite/website that you use your same email address does.

    Can be anything you signed up for at anytime.

    Once they have your email they just spoof a real site and spam you no stop saying your account is hacked/suspended/*whatevergetsyourattention* saying you need to verify you are you

    If you respond then they get you because now they have your login/pass

    Very common spam/spoof attempt to hack into your account.

    What you can do to protect yourself is have unique emails you only use for your games, and don't use them for anything else. Never respond to any email asking for your username/password.

    Even if everything looks legit it doesn't mean that it is. Spammers can modify the emails they generate to mask the sender to whatever email they want.

    i.e. it says it's being sent from noreply@us.playonline.com but it's not.

    Game companies have your information on database it doesn't make sense that they would ever ask you for your username and password.

    It's a phishing scam. They are pretty common.

    Hey hey,

    I was getting the same mail yesterday, I suggest changing your email adress anyways if that is an option for you.

    A perfectly valid/safe option, is do nothing. Don't click any links in the email, and don't reply to it, just delete it.
