| In the last couple of days we've heard of some emails being sent out that apparently come from Ecademy. The text of the email reads almost like a typical support form email but is subtly different from anything we actually send. If you receive these you should delete them and above all else do not open or run the attachment. A few notes:- - We never send emails with an attachment. - We never request that you change your password except via a personal email from the support team which will have been obviously hand written. Here are a couple of examples. This one was actually sent by a BT Openworld connected PC and contained a virus laden attachment.

Dear Ecademy Member, We have temporarily suspended your email account xxx@yyy.zzz. This might be due to either of the following reasons: 1. A recent change in your personal information (i.e. change of address). 2. Submiting invalid information during the initial sign up process. 3.
