like is it a fake thing like when would get spammed by we think youve been hacked on diablo even tho never registering for any of blizzards games ? or is it possible this is legit but some one has used my email to sign up ? (it was hacked last month but luckily they didn't change anything beyond my password so i got it back rather easily and now have my phone number and 6 alt emails attached to it

You better give them all of your personal information, just to be sure.

THEY already have it. :ahhh:

Seriously though, check why it's been blocked by this Microsoft Smartscreen. It's quite likely that the shown e-mail address is not the true one and the software is blocking it because it recognizes this. I'm also pretty sure it's a scam attempt.

P.S.: Normally, I charge 5 Internets for such advice, but because it's EpicFail, I'll make it 3,75 Internets. Make sure you wire this sum to my account. :deal:

It's a phishing scam. Some con artists are trying to trick people into giving up their GW2 account information so they can hack it. They send these emails out willy-nilly to whatever addresses they know about (regardless of whether or not those people actually have accounts for those games), in the hope that at least some of them will get duped.

Here's how things really work for ArenaNet and all other MMO companies: if they suspect there's some foul play going on with your account, they're going to lock it. No ifs, ands, or buts. They will not ask anything of you in the process, and they don't need to.

I've gotten several of those as well even though I do not have those games! I just ignore them; I even got one for a credit card that I don't even have xD I once got an email in all Chinese.

Ugh, is it the "Demand Progress" emails? I get those all the time, so I just marked them as spam :P
