    I haven't played LOTRO in a couple of years and my account has been inactive so I thought this was strange. When I clicked the link it brought me to a fake Turbine Accounts page which I was warned by Firefox as "not authentic." Turbine should look into this and everyone should be careful of getting a similar email.

    We have confirmed that this is a phishing scam, so please do not try to access the site provided in that message. We did pass along the information regarding that site last week and will hopefully be able to have it taken down.
