Here is an email I received from EA. I have no EA account, currently play no EA games, I am not their "customer", and did not contact them. They did not assist me today, as they stated. In this email they are making reference to an issue. What "case" are they talking about? It does creep me out thinking someone may be using my email for an account because I have no clue what they might be doing. (*I removed coupon code from email below) Any ideas? Is it generic or something to worry about?
Here is the email:
"We have assigned case number 01630091 to this interaction and included it in your case history so you can refer to its details as needed, or if you need to contact us again regarding this same issue. Please remember that you may need to log in to our Help Center to view your case details. We have also included the following promotional coupon code(s): ( *I removed code from this post)
Depending on your question, this code may be for redeeming a product or DLC, registering a product or DLC, or for accessing a promotion in the Origin store.

We listen, and we're committed to making sure you always have a personal and positive connection to our games, our people and our community. We very much appreciate you as our customer, and assisting you today was our pleasure. Regards, EA Customer Experience
It should be obvious - Spoof or phising email - it's not EA, just some crooks trying to get you're EA passwords or other personal info. They don't know if you have an EA password or not, but out of millions of emails they send out they may get a few, and that will be enough to log in and get credit card info, etc. Let me guess, it included a link. Don't click on the link.
Terrible grammar is usually the tip-off. I mean, you have to know that statement was reviewed by legal with a fine-tooth comb. As inarticulate as most lawyers are these days, even they aren't that bad with t3h Engresh. I'd have to assume EA's in-house counsel could at least get through the first sentence without butchering it.
