This is a transactional email from the Star Wars: The Old Republic Team.

It is a scam isn't it?

yes. it is fake.

At the start they seem to be questioning if it's Star Wars.

"Thank you for joining the Star Wars?"

But yes, it's fake. It wants your password, username, and your secret questions, and all of your info. They will never ask that.

No legitimate email will ever ask for your password.

It astounds me that even one person exists that has any doubt that this is fake.

If you cannot tell that is fake, then maybe you deserve to have your account compromised

This is sarcasm, isn't it. I choose to believe, nay, I have to believe this is sarcasm....

Looks about as legit as Nigerian Prince.

Phishing. Stay the fuck away and report them for phishing scams through your emails client.

Well, I hope the questions you will eventually ask someone will be dealt with a better answer.

dude, its totally legit. It says "May the Force be With you". That's how you know.

Thanks for the feedback guys! It did look legit as the formatting closely resembled the legit emails from Bioware. Still the wording is really bad at spots.

Looks legit bro. Go for it. Also I have this super lottery that you'll win if you send me your social security # and all your CC information.

straight up!

Yep, I was thinking the same thing. Thanks!

It's fake. Also report it to Bioware if you can, they might not be aware of this happening and other people might be affected.

Thanks for the laugh man, I needed it.

That's pretty much a rule to live by on the internet. Any email that asks for a password, an account number, or personal info is always fake. No reputable business will ever solicit that information through emails.

Thank you for your reply. :)

The grammar should've been a dead give away.

That email is more fake than a strippers tits.

If you have to ask if something is fake, then it is fake.

Seems legit.

What are you? Too good for free stuff? Punk?

@insane_shadowblade85: Why is it that no scammer can ever get their shit together and write at least coherently? It seems like they would snag a lot more people that way.

Oh shit, you're telling that the Nigerian prince I sent my bank account details to won't transfer the $50 million into my account? He said he promised!

I usually respond to these things with fake account info, I doubt it creates any problems for them but it makes me feel a little better. Also, always report the phishing.

Look at that email address, too: -@mail.com

They couldn't be arsed to at least spoof an @bioware.com domain

Totally legit bro! They sent me a working light saber.

Scammer will try anything.
