Question Is my account in jeopardy?

I recieved an email, saved/scanned it, and nothing nasty was found by Norton. So I went to the site and inputted the info requested. Now I'm having second thoughts....is this legit or did I just make a monsterous mistake? Here is what was in the e-mail minus the link:

Hello! You have been a customer for nearly a decade now, and that means your opinion of Kingdom Reborn is very important to us. We would like to invite you to sign up for our next stage of KR beta testing. Head here and fill in all the blanks: www*****************

Please don’t share this link, and please sign up as soon as possible.

Re: Is my account in jeopardy?

They never asked for password, but did want the account name and email addie, as well as my name, age, address, ph #, and computer specs.

Re: Is my account in jeopardy?

Now I'm really getting nervous, and no beta letter code or forum invite yet either. *cringes*

Re: Is my account in jeopardy?

With your email address and account name, they can sometimes get your password via the lost password feature. I know there was a bug/virus with Yahoo accounts that allowed this. Is your email a Yahoo address? (Don't answer here!)

I'd change my password ASAP just in case, if I were you. (For email, too, if it's yahoo).

Also, didn't the devs say earlier that beta invites were NOT going to be solely based on account age?

Re: Is my account in jeopardy?

I've rerun virus scan and antispyware progs. I have nothing to do with Yahoo email! Changing passwords too. Checked the message source in the email, appears legit from ea.com ip. TY!

Re: Is my account in jeopardy?

That is actually the beta letter I recieved 2 weeks ago.. I never did hear anything, but that may have to do with me being a "volunteer" on a fansite. I checked the links in the email and they were legit.
I'd not worry, I'm not.
