She also joined a FB group that I am an admin of and posted it there.
I removed her post and deleted her from the group.

It's not Gary's email address... it's a phishing email. They will ask for your email and password and then get into your account. The only people being scammed are those stupid and greedy enough to try it.

Ain't it?

I have no sympathy for anyone who gets caught up in this scam.

And OP, whatever you sent to that email address? Will do no good. Now they have your email address.....

They know about it. It's been going around since the takeover. What can they do about it? Pretty much nothing. They can't stop all the scammers of the world, they're a little busy making my game better. :lol:

Let them concentrate on the game instead of every day silly phishing nonsense on facebook..... :roll:

Well they could ban the person from yo. But beyond that you're correct... not much can be done.

I would rather it was phishing as opposed to a real email... because the cheating scum that sent Zynga support a ton of fake reports in the early years are the main reason they turned so unhelpful in returning items/money towards the end.

I did use my email to send an email to the address. Really not worried about phishing scams, since there is NOTHING someone can do with your email address alone!!
But yes, I agree, if this is a scam, it's kinda poetic justice!!!
