E-Mail Scam

I thought it strange that I receive a notice from TNT saying I was reported.
Usually they either freeze you or warn you if you DID do something wrong,
or they just ignore the report if it is bogus.So I read it.
They asked for my password which was a DEAD GIVE-AWAY that it was NOT from the team.
Remember that you will NEVER have to give the NeoPets Team your password!!
They have everything safe in a database, and then those are backed up with still more databases,
and firewall's are up all over the place to protect those!
The information they will ask you for if ever is only to VERIFY it is your account,
like what items you had in the trading post, what was in your inventory, who is on your neo-friends list and
things like that ....NEVER will they ask for your password NO MATTER WHAT!
This E-mail was sent to Neopets through the proper channels at Support.
(And NO, I did not reply to this E-Mail)
