It's wrong in so many ways. See red and comments

(Even IF you could spoof someone's IP address, it has nothing to do with the accoutn information)

1. Scan or check your computer for any kind of spyware or keyloggers.
2. Make sure all of your items or skills have not been taken. (MA support could see that themselves)
3. Email your username and password to mindark.support@gmail.com (Again for obvious reasons) as soon as possible using the subject as 81951.

common sense is not always used . . .

better to be warned than to be caught unaware

Thanks for sharing this. Unfortunately not everyone pays complete attention to things such as the email address, or understand that an IP conflict would most likelt not be an attempt at hacking your account.

There is one born every minute, but hopefully none of them fall for this lamers attempt at stealing accounts.
