New/old email scam?

[mid-sinister]

I recieved an email to my longstanding email account telling me they are full and cleaning up unused accounts, and that I must enter my username and password for the email account to verify i still use the account, this email address is linked to my daoc account, obviously some sad brat was trying to steal my daoc info, since the email company have a policy that they will NEVER ask for your password in a single email/phonecall. I also checked my other non daoc related email accounts, and those ones never recieved this email. so 2 fingers up to you whoever did it.

Just a little warning to anyone, I may have fell for this if i did not know about there policy, the email looks very real.

Post the source of the email if the mods will let you, specificaly the mail route, would be interested in sending them a few packets in return

The mail was from admin-account@yahoo.com or something, i tried to reply to give him an F U, but it couldnt send because the address didnt exist.

can still see the source ip, but he was prolly smart enough to bounce the stuff

Would need a large bouncy castle, right?
