Guild Wars 2

So I just thought I should let people know, there’s a guy sending mail claiming to be a dev. and saying your account will be shut down – just remember to look at the section at the bottom of the mail to check if it really is a dev.

Just a heads up

so in short, report said email sender as scammer and that person can say goodbye to his/her account.

It’s a stolen account. Only person being banned here is someone who somehow got their account compromised (by falling for this scam, signing up on the wrong sites, or trusting the wrong people).

Regardless, the semantics of the scenario isn’t the players problem. Don’t likewise become a victim. It’s a scam. Report for scamming, screenshot it, delete it, and ignore.

Oh, aye, I’m not saying don’t report it, just pointing out that the real owner of said account isn’t the scammer (which is what the post I replied to seemed to imply).

Avoid posting names or even worse, the site on the forums. Blur them out and report them in game.

Understood.
