I recieved this email today, its not a real email and it sends you to a .co.va website so beware:

Thanks, that appears slightly different than the ones I have in the “A Note about Phishing E-mail” thread.
Couple of questions about this:
“It has come to our attention that your Guild Wars 2 account [EMAIL REDACTED] for engaging in or assisting wiht gold or item sales for real-world money, If this proves to be true, your account can and will be disabled.”
Can you tell me if the typo in the first sentence is in that e-mail,m “assisting wiht gold?”
Is this sentence truly missing words, “…Guild Wars 2 account [EMAIL REDACTED] for engaging in…” or did you lose a bit when you redacted the e-mail address, such as “…Guild Wars 2 account [EMAIL REDACTED] {something missing here} for engaging in…”
That whole section excluding the top line was a pure copy paste (ofc removing the stuff that would give people access to my account =p) but the only thing removed in that line was my email address.
I received the same e-mail right now and it’s not the first time:

this is a copy-paste directly from the e-mail.
I got this email and like a idiot i didn’t see the typo and i put in my details, thankfully due to the security email you get when logging in to a new location i was not hacked and because of this i was able to send a support ticket to GW2 and change my password, i’m just thankful for that validation email.
I couldn’t fit the whole email in one screeny so i pasted in the last of the text
