My, i didn't though that people will start sending fake mails from IGG. Well, now hackers are everywhere and just wait to rob people... Sigh, sometimes i wonder if i should check my mailbox

Don't be afraid sweetie, just be careful. Hackers are everywhere, can't run and hide from them ^^ but yeah good idea checking the source, and remember lovies.....IGG or GM's NEVER ask for you password =)
