I'd ignore it. Sounds like a scam.

I strongly suggest you don't post your email account. Edit it quick, or hope a mod does it for you ...

Looks like the standard Anet welcome email. I got that as well. Just make sure you don't have to type your email and password in any site, just when you run GW.

The links just takes you to their privacy screen and to their main site. It's safe to click those. Pretty much if the site resides on guildwars.com, then it is Anet's, and even then, they will never ask you to put in your email and password in their site.

Good rule of thumb: Whenever you have to log in ANY online account, make sure the web address is correct and that your logging in the proper server.

Ignore the e-mail altogether. It will have no bearings on the functionality of your Guild Wars account.

For clarity: The e-mail is NOT from ArenaNet. Therefore, being that its not valid, why are you worrying?
