I got this email today. Thought you all might what a look at it. I removed some of the url but take a look at this.

It came from,
IP Address: 218.71.140.187
ISP: Beilun Education Net
Region: Ningbo (CN)

(sender IP is 218.71.140.187) smtp.mailfrom=zrnb@vascfdi.org; dkim=none header.d=guildwars2.com; x-hmca=none
X-SID-PRA: noreply@guildwars2.com

They set it up to make it look like its coming from noreply@guildwars2.com. If you look at the url you will see something that should be obvious.

Words:
allow-login?token, request, ip=62.150.38.163
First is is saying it wants to allow a login. Second is a request, third what ip address is requesting it.

IP Address: 62.150.38.163
ISP: QualityNet
Organization: Qualitynet Co.
Region: Kuwait (KW)

Yep, completely wrong. A total scam and a lie. They are trying to hard too. Your email will read it as if it really come from noreply@guildwars2.com and unless you look at the message source code you don’t even know it wasn’t sent from noreply@guildwars2.com. But the url was a good giveaway that some one wants you to say its ok to log into my account and steal your stuff.
