actually, according to the NCSoft posting about phising sites:

If you experience anything like this, please feel free to contact us at cohmoderation@ncsoft.com with the specifics so that we may look into the situation.


sending it to support probably works also, but might as well direct folks to their suggested routing.

and even though there's a warning about things like this at the top of each forum, still doesn't hurt to put a quick post in the forum when a new scam makes its rounds. I got the same email and could not believe the absolutely atrocious grammar. had to save it, just for a chuckle now and then

Having the evident receipt concurs, were viewing the reputed actions so I took the measured response. Please jump vigorously into the lake ("www.jumpvigorouslyintothelake.com") as soon as possible. I regret this inevitable recourse, with malice toward none.
