Hey, just curious, 
 
Why would I be getting a "Verify your email address" message from NCSOFT @ ~3am on a Saturday with a link telling me to click it in order to verify my account with NCSOFT?
 
Oh, and I guess I should mention, the return address is for 'NCSOFT Support <support@ncsoft.com>' but the link provided and the entire email looks to be written as if it came from the UK Support site 
 
Oh and yeah,. the big part, I got this email on one of my email accounts that I an NOT registered with NCSOFT for.
 
Smells pretty Phishy to me.. I'm thinking, I won't be clicking this link provided any time soon.

			Absolutely normal. I get them all the time because I have a dynamic IP. You have a e-mail verification on your account for security purposes.

			That absolutely does not sound normal, no. You are right to be suspicious. The IP change email doesn't ask you to verify your email address, it tells you specifically that your account had suspicious access and what to do about it. There is a link, but you don't have to use it. Keep in mind that the "from" field in an email can be spoofed, as well as links in it. That's why checking email headers is a good idea, they are more accurate.

			Remove the links so no one clicks on them.

Did you really need to make a thread to ask if a suspicious email on an email address that makes no sense is legit?
 
Come on man... 	
----
			
there's a fake email phishing around that has an exact copy of the site but the address has an extra 'i' in it.
 
 
be careful.

I used to get emails like that all the time for WoW. I have over 15 email addresses, and once got these emails on 10 of them in the same day. None of those email accounts were tied to Blizzard in any way.
 
They are phishing attempts, and should be forwarded to Carbine/NCSoft. Does anyone happen to know the proper procedure to follow though? Is there an email account we can forward them to?

			when i get something like this like i did at 6:28am yesterday, i go to the link  i have saved and log in that way to verify that i need to verify my email address.

			No, unless you tried to log in, got locked out, and need to go to your email address to certify that the login attempt was legit, you shouldn't have to verify your account information.
