Guild Wars 2

Was looking through the forum but could not find anything, so creating new topic, but feel free to merge it if there is another post.

When i logged in today i got a mail inside of the game saying my account will be banned for 72 hours unless i pressed a link to change my password in the mail. The mail did not have the Arenanet logo so i realised it was from a scammer. How ever there should really be a warning done to players, so that we don’t have to see people loosing their account to a scammer.

I did of course report the guy but want to make sure A-net actually see it and take care of it so there for i make a post here as well.
I also want to make players aware of it and that you never interact with a mail in game unless it have ArenaNets logo on it. Also a game company would never ask you to give away a password through a mail, nor to log in to a webside not related to the normal way of interact with your game account, so be aware if you recieve such mail and don’t fall for it.

See Sticky above, or in other sub-forums.

Good luck.

The post on this is stickied . how did you miss it ?

re: The post on this is stickied . how did you miss it ? – And the mail itself says that it’s from another player not from an ArenaNet employee. What more would you want them to do?

Oh, and just an FYI: You can’t ‘press’ or interact with any links in in-game mails, anyway…whether from ArenaNet or not.

Good luck.
