Any email I get I ignore especially if they have a link to follow! if there were problems with my account I would expect them to leave a message once you have logged in!! In fact they should do something like that to stop all these scams! Its the same with Paypal and other bank accounts I always get these emails but ignore them and my accounts are usually fine!

I think the scamers are doing this a lot today because there is scheduled maintanence so they use this opportunity to scare people because when the maintanence is taking place some accounts don't work properly! You can't view everything etc!

Moral: Don't ever enter any details into any email!
