Hello!

Seems like I just got one of those phishing emails too. It was sent to a different address (not the one I signed up for Guild Wars 2 with), contains ridicolous grammar mistakes, and considering I haven’t played Guild Wars 2 for very long, I immediately got suspicious.

The email was sent from noreply@guildwars2.com, but is clearly fake.

Here’s the content (I removed my personal information):

Like I said, this is obviously fake, so be careful and don’t click that link!
