We are aware of this fake email going around. And YES this is totally FAKE.

Emails that would be coming from Build-A-Bearville or Build-A-Bear Workshop would atleast show a domain that says buildabear.com. That email address is obviously just a personal account made via MSN or Windows Live.

ALWAYS remember not to give your login information to untrusted people, and store it somewhere SAFE to avoid getting hacked.

We have no idea how the people behind this scam got players' email addresses. We clearly do not know anything about how they operate or why they are doing this.

We just want you all to please beware of these scammers, and keep your login information safe.
