Weird email from Videogamesplus.ca

Mark Kaine

they say i should activate my account because  i "just" signed up…

 

Thing is i signed up there about 8 years or so… How effin slow are they lol.

I also heard theyre a scam company that gets regularly "hacked" whats up with that? And what should i do, i dont feel like contacting them tbh. Are they legit criminals / scammers?

Got this same email too and it spooked my since I have no clue when I registered there but it had my real name.

Glad to see that it's nothing shady.

yeah, I knew I signed up there a long time ago and I also heard stories about them being hacked back then, but mainly I was just surprised they even have this email and not some throw away one…
