Enforcer84 Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 Re: Cryptic Studios Account email. Got the same one, the Grammar makes me think it's a fake. I treated it as such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CptPatriot Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 Re: Cryptic Studios Account email. I received it also, but since my WoW acct was hacked, I take no chances. I reset the password by going directly to CO's site rather than use their link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teh bunneh Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 Re: Cryptic Studios Account email. Yeah, if you hover over the links, they take you to someplace other than startrek-online.com or champions-online.com. Definitely a phishing scam.

yamamura Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 Re: Cryptic Studios Account email. It sends you to perfect world's site which is the current owner of Cryptic. I also went to the site through my book mark and changed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pattern Ghost Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 Re: Cryptic Studios Account email. Well, at least they had some of the vital info encrypted, unlike Sony's huge f-up a while back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
