Email linked but not mine

How do I unlink a scam fraudulent email linked on my EA account

 

 

  • Hey Marcusabacus​,

    If you don't recognize this email, this typically indicates an older EA account was actually accessed by someone else who changed the email address. This would be the same account your PlayStation account was linked to in the past, only now with their email - completely separate from the EA account you're using now.

    It would typically be best in that situation to recover the old account rather than unlinking any platforms, just to avoid any loss of progress that can come from unlinking. 

    If you haven't already, please be sure to go through as many of these security steps as possible to help get your account and system back into your control. After that you'll want to get in touch with our support team directly to help recover the account itself. As they'll need to discuss private account details, that is not something we can assist with here on the forums.

    Once you've gone through the steps linked above, you can use the Contact us option at the bottom of the page to get in touch with the support team so they can help with the account recovery to get things straightened out.
