Pogo Scam Email

It's just infuriating 😡

I opened my email on pogo this evening and saw this. I know I have done nothing to warrant this so I am wondering if it is spam. I actually got this message twice, 3 minutes apart at 4:33am est and 4:36am est. Does anyone have any thoughts on this or know if it is real or not? Also, I did not receive anything in my actual email which is attached to my pogo account.

Not legit, I've gotten a few of them over the years.  Just ignore it and do not call the number, pretty sure it's a way to hack your computer.

I thought as much. Thank  you for your response!

I just received this in MESSAGES

Hello! Sorry, this happened to you as well. Your husband was smart for telling you to disconnect the call. This is NOT from Pogo or EA this is a scammer looking to incite fear, urgency and authority.

Pogo nor EA will ever ask you to call them for "an administrative inquiry or face fines and imprisonment."

I received  a message in the message center which stated  an account warning. They found several violations,this is your final warning, legal action pending, law enforcement  will be notified. Call 1-949-226-7156. Stupidly I called,they will call back. I should have known from the mispellings, etc. Check your message center and do not respond. I do not know what I did by calling but I am sure it will not be good.
