    Hello,

    Currently emails/newsletters that are being sent out may seem to be from Bigpoint, however they are not. It seems that mainly Polish users are affected but it cannot be excluded that these mails will spread throughout other areas as well.

    We would like to point out that such emails are spam and, obviously, not being distributed by Bigpoint.
    This scheme is known as email spoofing.

    If you receive such emails, please take the following aspects into consideration:

    1. Please be vigilant if you receive suspicious emails, and always verify the sender before opening an email.
    2. If in doubt, do not open any links or attachments.
    3. Bigpoint will never ask you for your password.
    4. Bigpoint will never send out emails to addresses that have not opted-in to receive newsletters.
    5. Such spam emails can and should be reported either by using the report function (Report spam) or, forward it to the Anti-Phishing Working Group at reportphishing@apwg.org.

    Be safe and secure.

    Your Bigpoint Community Management
