Received an e-mail

Sounds like a scam to me!

What was the address it came for?

And please tell me you didnt respond to it :)

 

Sounds fishy but if there was no attempt to get you to do a login via a link or whatever I can't see what there would be to gain? Unless it's social engineering and there is someone sending a lot of harmless looking mail, before sending something more malicious?

 

The email address looks like the real deal. If it didnt ask for any info or link you somewhere, I'd say its really from FPC

 

Scam letters come in all shapes and sizes and unless you have a program that tells you just exactly where an email originates there is almost no way of knowing if it is good or not. If, however, they sent you your login details then this in itself could be a potential problem. Emails can be misrouted or address changed so a great potention for someone else to be getting your login info.

There is only one way to be sure. One, never click a link in an email no matter who it is from. Two, if you think it is possible that it is a scam then a support case should be filed with the enclosed email. This way they have a chance to stop it. Especially with a game that deals in REAL MONEY.

Better to be safe then sorry.

 

That sounds really fishy. Can you post the email here entirely, would make it easier. Remove your account info etc of course

 

Today I got one of the same emails from Mindark. I DO have a program which gives me details on where things actually come from and the route taken. The email does come from a designated IP address assigned to Mindark, but still would not click on a line lol.

 

Mmmm- this is very strange. Is that email address legitimate? planetcalypso@entropiauniverse seems not right to me. Seeing as FPC would surely use something like 'something@fpc.com' or even something like 'something@sds.com'. SDS - See Digital Studios recently acquired FPC alhtough FPC still does the admin and support for Calypso; as I understand it anyway.

Other odd things have been happenning as well. For instance, I couldn't see my account info for days - everything was just comming up blank. The pages were showing, but no info on them. I since logged a support case, and that issue is no resolved. Apparantly FPC were having some website issues...

 

Just about two weeks since I last logged in. Maybe they are getting desperate. The economy is hurting them I am sure.

 

I think they are. They're getting desperate bacause of the situation that has developed over recent years. You've had quest this; quest that, mission this; mission that which is really just a clever way of dressing up the fact that you will be spending heap loads on ammo, repairs, etc, for the same minimal returns that you would get if you hunted, mined, etc, solo. All that has to happen, is that the loot distribution is made more equall or more even, then ppl would start to believe in EU again...

 

Since when?Who, specifically?What happened to quest this; quest that mission this; mission that which is a clever way of dressing up the fact that you will be spending heap loads on ammo repairs for the same minimal returns that you would get if you hunted mined solo.Once more? Not all of them?

 

Yes, that's it. That's exactly what I meant :D

 

AMEN !!!! He sees the light lol

 

LOL! I think maybe I put enough 'quests' and 'missions in that sentence to confuse any mortal robot :D.

 

Got such an email too after 14days vacation , really fast, never happened before.
