[QUOTE="Merkuri, post: 4872779, member: 41321"] I got that email as well, and thought that it was entirely plausible since I haven't been to the site in quite a while. I clicked on the link but was very cautious to make sure that the URL I went to actually said wizards.com (or gleemax.com). If you get emails like this that you doubt the validity of (especially when they're asking you to log in and update your information) it's usually best to don't click on any links in the email and go straight to the website in question via your bookmarks or by just typing in the address. If it's a valid request to update your information then you will probably see information about it just after you log in. If nothing jumps out at you then it was probably a phishing email. (And, wow, my spellchecker actually recognized "phishing".) I didn't follow my own advice this time because it was only WotC forums and not a bank. What are they gonna do if they get my password, post to the forums in my name? I'm not a DDI subscriber, so my credit card isn't involved at all. [/QUOTE]
