Spam Message?

I received the following message in my inbox.  It seems very odd, and I wonder if anyone else has gotten this message.

Dear Pogo User,

courtesy Notice from the Admin Team,

We are getting complaints from other Pogo subscribers against you regarding sending vulgar messages, therefore we have decided to terminate your account. Contact our Pogo EA customer service team ASAP to get your account checked or you will be blocked from playing games if your account is not verified.

Please call the customer service team at +1-323-825-5071 to verify and access Pogo account.

Is this SPAM?

    Hi @Moogan1201 

    To confirm what @Barigood1ww mentioned this is indeed spam or potentially a phishing scam. 

    EA and Pogo will not direct you to contact them via a direct phone number or in this manner if your account is actioned (banned) for violating our Terms of Service. 

    To speak with our support you will always use help.ea.com. To both contact support and our TOS team (if you are ever banned). 

    I would recommend blocking this email from your email account, and as always check out the steps in our Help Article about keeping your accounts safe: 

    How to manage your EA Account security and safety

    Cheers!
