Guild Wars 2

I don’t know whether to take this seriously or not but I had an in game message from a GM En FreakKing.

Apparently my account is to be shutdown or partially limited within 72 hours due to currency transactions or abnormal login. If you want to remove restrictions, please click the following link to validate:
(removed for security)

I replied that the link does not work?

Can anyone enlighten me as to whether this is a scam or not?

This is a serious issue non the less and also that the message has the following note: This message was sent by another player. It was not sent by the Guild Wars 2 Team.

Look at the sticky just above your thread. Here is the direct link:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/support/Please-Take-Care-with-In-Game-Mails/

Also please edit that link from your post. We would not want someone to accidentally visit a scam site.

Report the in game mail by clicking the exclamation mark icon and then delete it.

Okay I did that, reported it and yes edited my post to ensure that no one accidentally gets to scam site.

I did reply to the email stating the link doesn’t work, I typed the link out on another computer and nothing, doesn’t exist.

Should I really be worried? Because I am actually having read the sticky about taking care with in game mails.

It is a phishing mail sent to you hoping to get your account information. You might want to change your email and game account passwords, just to be on the safe side, having tried to visit the phishing site.

Good luck.

I changed my GW2 password easily enough as I do this fairly often anyway. As for my email I’ve not changed that and besides no information was given as the link did not work anyway. I think it wouldn’t do anything as the site does not exist.
