Locked accounts

Hello, I have received a email which says my account will be locked in 24h if I don’t change information on it as there has been someone trying to access it from us Texas which isn’t me.

Greetings lillymayhanvey99!


From your post we see you are having some trouble with an email stating your account will be locked if you don't reply. We can absolutely see how that would be concerning and are happy to help! That email is absolutely a phishing attempt and can be safely ignored. You can see how to report and spot those emails here: Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams.


Take care!
