Assistant Community Manager James "Elrar" Nichols just posted details regarding a Rift account phishing scam. Here's the post:

It has come to our attention that fraudulent emails are being sent to some of our players requesting they update their Trion Worlds username and password information. If you receive an email from Trion Worlds please inspect it carefully! While the link can look correct it may take you to a completely different website.

Never click a link you don’t trust! Always copy and paste the URL directly into your browser and ensure that the site you are on is either riftgame.com, trionworlds.com, or trionworlds.custhelp.com (this is our Customer Support Knowledge Base.)

Lastly, if you are ever concerned about an email you received or the security of your account simply Contact Us or go to the Support section found on www.riftgame.com and we’ll be happy to help you, thanks!
