yeah, normally if they suspect you of gold selling (abnormal transactions) they will just suspend your account. It’s not a real e-mail.

Yup, official word just received..

“The e-mail you have received is not an official e-mail from the Guild Wars 2 Support Team or from ArenaNet. It is most likely a phishing attempt. Please DO NOT click on any links within that e-mail. We will not send e-mails that state that your account will be terminated if you do not respond. We will not send e-mails that state that an account has been compromised (unless we are responding to a player). Any e-mails of this type are most likely malicious in intent.”
