I *JUST* received the following email (and three times so far):

Quote:

From: "Jermy Dalberg"
To: *HIDDEN*
Subject: Hardware and Database Account Issues
Date: Mon, 3 Sep 2007 11:19:09 -0600

Hello Ultima Online subscriber,We have had a recent power outage and several hardware failures and it seems as if your account may have been effected to ensure us that you were not in fact effected by the hardware problems please reply back with your Ultima Online account name and password and the shard you play on so we can send you a complimentary Soul Stone Token.To redeem your token please use the promotional code in the games help menu. Thank You, Electronic Art's

I am forwarding this to EA as well, but I just in case anyone might fall for this obvious scam, I felt it would be good to post the text as well.

Jermy"? I mean, really. My friend's ten-year-old calls me "Jermany", but if you're not ten, get it right!

Or, you know, don't, because the more obvious errors in an email like this, the less likely anyone will fall for it

The reason that employees never ask you for your password is that we don't *need* them [smile]
