EA Goes Phishing For Registrations

Submitted by on November 15, 2007 – 1:30 pm2 Comments

EALate last night, after I spent another hour or so romping around The Simpsons Game on PS3 an email appeared in my Inbox from Electronic Arts customer service which made me very angry. Here’s how it started (with my PlayStation Network name omitted):

Hi [PSN name]!

Thank you for registering The Simpsons(TM)

Whoops there’s the first problem. I never registered the game. Sounds like a simple mistake, right? It’s not. The email is built as a deliberate deception which I’ll pull apart and expose after the jump.


Here’s the full email:

    You played the EA game, not me. ;-P

    At least you didn’t pay for it, I pay for my Live account and still get to be abused by hideous Burger King banner ads when I log into live.

    The way the email was crafted is far worse than the fact that Sony can give out my PSN email address to third party vendors.

    The ads on XBL sound just horrible. Eww, Burger King.
