<p> Today I have received 2 emails which appear suspicious to me. Both of them have the topic "Your Station Cash Balance Statement for September". The first one is WAY off on my SC balance, and comes from a slightly different sender than the 2nd one-which has the correct SC balance(I logged into the game and checked). I have NOT clicked on any of the links in either email.</p><p> To whom would I send these emails (in full header mode) and what subject should I use to get their attention so that they can be checked out? I'm positive the first one is a phishing attempt, as the SC balance is totally wrong. The 2nd one I'm now suspicious of since they arrived about half an hour apart(the obviously-wrong one, oddly, arrived first).</p><p> And to anyone reading this: DO NOT CLICK ANY LINKS if you get an email like this. If you do and it IS a Phishing email, any information you type in when you go to a bad link will just give these people your information and they will have all the information they need to login to your toons and steal you blind. It's possible they could also get your credit card info as well. </p><p> Waiting to hear from a red name where I should send these emails to.....</p><p> Adaora @ Arkenstone</p>

We appreciate you posting this! My play account too recieved a station cash balance statement. I assure you, it is legitimate. The 2nd email you recieved may be tied to another station account with the same email. What was the sender's email?</p>
