I wonder if anyone else has received this email from RS. I got it today and it doesn't seem to be a scam email because when I tried to login using my premium account, I got an error saying account could not be found. RS terminated my account because I have been downloading files from their server?!

===================================

I would assume the account got phished, and they got your details. First off, RS wouldn't mention your PW in an email, and secondly, warez downloaders are their biggest customers.

You got phished. Just send them an email and they'll sort it out. From now on make sure you check the links that you click on. Make sure they're not suspicious looking.

Did the email have a link to click though? Or was it just an email stating you were terminated? (unless you mean he got phished a different time ?)
