Just be cautious if you do get this one and make sure you delete it. My guess is this was sent from the people who hacked ngu a little while back, they must of datamined all the emails and they are now sending this in order to screw up our accounts.

- Made junk email for signing up for things.
- Never have to deal with any of this.
Honestly, it's probably the best solution to such a recurring problem. The only time I ever use that email is when I forget a password to something. And that never happens, so I suppose I'm just lucky.
Thanks for the warning. :y:
