I have never owned, nor intend to own a Sony Playstation.
I have this afternoon received an email purporting to be from Sony Playstation thanking me for opening my account and asking me to verify my email address.
No other request for information and then at the bottom, an ‘If this wasn’t you’ click here button, which needless to say, I didn’t respond to.
Ran the header through Google Security checks and it appears genuine.
The official Sony website recommends contacting them if emails like this are received
I have wasted half an hour trying to get past a bot (sorry, ‘agent’) on the Sony website, which persists in asking me for an Online ID which I don’t have!
I’ve changed my email password and have checked my various accounts, which show nothing untoward at the moment.
The email has been logged as Spam. What troubles me slightly is that the email itself could have been genuine and someone is trying on some sort of identity theft.
I don’t know that there’s much else I could do.
Has anyone else received emails like this at any time?
Thanks for reading!
