What do you all think. Should I respond or risk them damaging down my email? ROTFL

That's telltale - almost all the scams have that stilted, incorrect language lol

No legitimate company would ever ask you for your password through an unsolicited email. Delete it and forget it.

You never know :P It could be a very nice middle eastern family in Qatar that is looking to wipe your funds out to feed their starving children. How could you say no to that!

The email is from Qatar in the middle east. 100% scam. Delete it. No company you do business with would ever ask you for that type of information. Especially so poorly put in English.

You should definitely send your password ASAP rather than lose your account. In fact, just to be on the safe side you ought to give up your checking, savings and CC numbers along with various PINs.

(Yes, its a scam)

I wouldn't want a loose account. No wonder they're damaging down your emails.
The accounts have been "violated by our services?" Sounds legit to me.
Every company I've dealt with lately has violated me with their services. Most recently, comcast, clear, and AT&T.

Delete and ignore. No legitimate company would send you this email.

ROFL... I love these types of emails... straight to junk mail and forever forgotten
