Good thing I have one email address I use for games, and another for general use. This was sent to the general use one so I know it's a scam without going any further. That, and it's rather poorly written.

Be careful out there.

edit: Not sure why you edited it Snograt, I had taken part of the url out so it wasn't going anywhere. w/e

Thanks for the warning, always useful to know what dodgy e-mails are going around.....but you might want to disable the link in the e-mail that you posted, before some idiot here clicks on it.

FYI, I do not think ArenaNet would warn you before banning you for buying gold. I am pretty sure you will be visited by Dhuun instead.

so do not buy gold and you will be safe

from phishing and Dhuun
