I just received an email that looks like an obvious scam… but it appears to have come from the official ArenaNet at guildwars2.com email address.
I’m guessing there’s some kind of forwarding trick going on…I just wanted to make people aware so they don’t get tricked into giving out account details.
If ArenaNet would like more info, let me know.
