It could be legit. My bank sends me these all the time and they're a bank, so it must be ok.

With all this account insecurity, CCP should consider doing like Blizzard has done and implement SecureID Tokens...where you get a token that has a number that changes every 30 seconds or so and you imput that number along with your PW when you log in. No? They charge $7 for it.

If you need one of those devices, you deserve to lose your account.

I had my friend message me about this...

Also, the base URL points to a charity website that has probably been hacked. Someone should contact the webmaster ASAP to get this scam down (I don't have the link any more)

I heard the Delete button works well with your Email service. I never get emails from CCP, or any other site that claims to be CCP. <3 gmail.

A good friend of mine, who also happens to be a prince from Nigeria, sends me letters like this all the time. It's perfectly safe.

I used to talk to the Prince all the time, until he figured out I was actually broke, and was just pulling his leg. I thought we were homies. Sad
