obivously it's fake and when you click on the link you go to a website,
that looks exactly like nextgenupdate and asks you to log in.
You can guess what happens after that Smile
Maybe smart to put out a warning?
sorry if this is not the right section

I just checked my e-mail and I have this to, it's labeled as spam so I would have never seen it If I hadn't been notified but I think I'll give some fake details as suggested above.

Yeah this is called phishing, the one who did it must have thought he would get your PSN pass since most people only use one password for everything
