Yeah, that is one obvious e-mail:
AOL
asking for main character name
I would have forwarded this to Anet with notifications etc.

Wow...this is a sad attempt. I mean, come on!

But yes, forward this to Anet/NCSoft and let them know of this. They might want to put up an announcement of a scam emails from these people just to alert the gaming community that there is a scammer emailing people. Then again, I can't say how many people never read those messages on the side of the login area of the main Guild Wars Screen.

Though the date itself doesn't necessarily mean anything. I've gotten spam emails before that were backdated.

I actually can't believe they didn't bother to spoof a halfway believeable email address. All it takes is an open relay, for pity sakes...

I lost faith in humanity ages ago. This sort of stuff doesn't surprise me at all. I just hope very few people got scammed as I totally despise dishonest losers like the one sending the email.

Failers failing, wow... They could have at least spoofed their e-mail. Not like it's hard...

All you need is a server that allows php and a mailer script. You can easily see through the headers where it was sent, but most people don't check their headers (most don't show them by default).

Maybe they were stupid enough to mail it without proxies too... Check your headers. Not sure if AOL leaves that info or is less crappy now.
