[SOLVED] Phishing in my email?

ACE · 05-12-2008, 01:14 PM

Hey, not to alarm anyone, but I received a peculiar message in my regular email saying my account was locked. As you can see, I'm on, but the email had a link (which I didn't click). Does anybody make anything out of this?

Dear ACE,

Your account on Zune Boards has been locked because someone has tried to log into the account with the wrong password more than 5 times. You will be able to attempt to log in again in another 15 minutes.

The person trying to log into your account had the following IP address: 168.215.131.150

Don't forget that the password is case sensitive. Forgotten your password? Use the link below:

All the best,

Apparently someone tried to log onto your account on a dif computer. Also, the lock probably occured when your weren't on and expired by the time you logged back on.
Here's your feared link. Everything appears legit

Yeah the link looks fine, someone was probably trying to log into your account. Wonder who's IP address that is?

PoN · 05-12-2008, 02:46 PM

Not to worry. It looks legit. Maybe someone tried to get in your account

What's the actual URL of the link when you click it/hover over it?

No one here matches the IP.

That sure as hell isn't phishing, it's valid. Someone tried to log in and failed. If it happens again from the same IP tell me and I'll ban the IP
