Just got some mail on one of my emails, which isn’t even registered with GW2, about having 72 hours to confirm ownership, theres like several links that lead to the official site and this link, which is kinda fishy.


Fishy why? cause look at the ending, ends with .comegawkc
No site has that kind of ending unless its a scam, the .com should be separated with another /wasfa , ect.

So dont fall for it guys, cheers.

Of course it is a phisinig email. That is why you need to edit your post and take the link out so some unsuspecting person doesn’t follow it.

Why the hell would you link the direct site?

Why the hell do people keep doing this?

“hey guys watchout for a phishing/keylogging website, here check it out for yourselves!!!!”

I’ve gotten several, much like I get them for my (nonexistent) Runescape/WoW account.

“So don’t fall for it guys, cheers”. You do notice that there are people out there who click links without thinking? It’s bad enough that these emails are circulating, but putting phishing links out on the forums pretty much makes you part of the problem.

I suggest changing your password, using the “My account” link, in the top right corner of this page.

That won’t do anything if it installed a keylogger.

Gotta clean your computer first, then change passwords. Or change passwords from your phone or other computer.

Change password will be a step of the process for sure, but I agree that check your PC for keyloggers, viruses, etc … is the best start.

It asked me for my creditcard number to keep playing. Just in case the first creditcard didn’t work, I gave a second one too.

You really gave your credit card info after knowing for sure that you clicked in a phishing link? You are trolling, right? Please tell me you are trolling.
