807778 2009-09-07 19:54:00 This morning I received an email from the above, asking for confirmation (and information - password, user name, etc) of the account. Have others had this? Is it real? Or am I just being paranoid? Comments?

TIA :)

What was the email addy?

A company will never ask for such personal details via email.
