Weird e-mail about Guild Wars - Guild Wars Forums

Estic · Oct 07, 2006, 09:24 AM // 09:24

I got an e-mail from lyris-confirm-3094245J @listserv.plaync.com, title: Guild Wars account settings, with the question whether or not I wanted to receive updates on the game and such. The yes or no where links, and I dont really trust them.

Anyone else got this message? Or should I e-mail A-net to ask them if this is correct?

TY

Looks like it would be valid with the plaync.com...not sure 100% sure tho. Dunno why they'd email you to ask about updates...

Estic · Oct 07, 2006, 09:30 AM // 09:30

yeah, well what I am wondering about is that the plaync.com is followed by an A-net emblem (not that that should be hard to aquire anywhere). But if nobody else has seen the e-mail, I dont think it's valid. Why would they only ask me about it?

GODh · Oct 07, 2006, 09:42 AM // 09:42

Yes, i received these emails too... for each account one (2 accounts and 1 for an account i created for factions preview weekend). Not sure what to do with them (i see too many phising (?) emails lately).

You would think, especially if it is genuine they would not tell you to follow a link in an email, with all the scam emails that go around

Personally I deleted it

Poison Ivy · Oct 07, 2006, 09:44 AM // 09:44

Don't even waste your time, it seems everyone is getting those scam emails.

Estic · Oct 07, 2006, 09:47 AM // 09:47

ok, thanks... deleted it already... was looking very fishy...

GODh · Oct 07, 2006, 09:49 AM // 09:49

Well, it turned out to be official:

its not a scam. if you click on it, you get to the guildwars.com with a message, that you have succesfully updated your plaync account, and you will recieve game update notes to your e-mail address

Estic · Oct 07, 2006, 09:52 AM // 09:52

lol, oh well.. its just a relief I cna play GW without having to worry about possible hacks on my PC. Thanks for the heads up.

simon_snowflake · Oct 07, 2006, 09:55 AM // 09:55

I got it as well and some forum members at telenet.be aswell.
I've contacted support and I'm waiting for a reply

Yes I had the same for my 2 accounts, but I did not reply and deleted the e-mails after I did not find anything on the GW web site.
Too late for me!
