Use the report button [!] looking thing at the bottom of the mail. That will report the spammer. (Best not to use the public forum for stuff like that. It’s a no-no.)

Yes, this is a pretty well known scam. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Alert-In-Game-Mail-Scams/first

There’s no need to report it on the forums. Report in-game.

Thanks for the warning – it is though, a well known thing, and virtually everyone who frequents these forums are aware already. Way to deal with is, as I suspect you’ve done is to report & block.

The Sticky Thread here has more information: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/support/Please-Take-Care-with-In-Game-Mails

I would probably advise on hiding the name of the scammer, as it is most likely a stolen account, and that person may get their account back at some point. I know one person who I had blocked for this reason and I unblocked the scammer when it was obvious they got their account back.

ahh ok, i didn’t know i don’t keep up with the forums.

Aye, don’t worry about it.

To virtually everyone who don’t use the forums, it seems like a new thing when they get it the first time. But to people who use these forums every day, it’s almost a daily sight of someone posting about it.

It does show the good nature of people though, that they are willing to take time out of the game to warn people on this, so for that we should be grateful for the community the game has created.

Don’t need to post it here, posted a zillion time and and has at least 3 different stickies. By reading the last bit where it clearly states it is not from anet , show they have it covered. BTW you should have the url blanked out—against the tos to post scammers urls.

just report it ingame delete and move on.
