    I think it’s phishing because of the “threat” your account will be suspended unless you act now.

  • Hi there,

    This is definitely a phishing email. We became aware of this only yesterday ourselves.

    You can delete it, and if your email provider has a way to report these you can use that as well. We’re in contact with the email provider that was used to send out that email as well, so hopefully we can stop any more from going out.
