Hi there. I got this message today on my ps4 from a profile The EAHelpSquad:
"Hello, I just watched your game with "psn-profile (other player I played against)" through the EA servers. Good game! You're probably wondering who I am. I am an EA partner who is trying to greater the Hockey Ultimate Team community. We're doing this to see how people like the new content update but I'd also like to offer you a few players. these players are untradeable. I can add them into your inbox. I can provide you with a verification email to prove my worth with Electronic Arts."

The other guy I played against got the same message after the game. I guess it's another try to scam people and I wanted to show it here so that nobody falls to this scam.
The only thing I am concerned about is the fact that now text people right after the played a game against each other.

It was probably him. How do you know he got the same message?

He texted me a little while after the game and asked my if i get the same message. It's possible that he messaged me, but he had such an stacked squad, so I wouldn't think that he need to scam other players. I mean I got a lot of scam mails during my HUT time, but never one like this.

Maybe that's how he got a stacked squad. Well the good thing is you're savvy enough to know it was a scam. Personally I think it was him.

It's a scam. Report it

Looks like it was him. Wrote me back that he got MOV Toews and MOV Kane just for free. Probably I will set incoming messages only from friends, but that would take away a lot of fun when I won't receive any messages anymore from raging guys.

Classic phishing. He'll be asking for your account information next. Report him.

In my experience playing this series since 2011, no one EVER just reached out to me or anyone I know to give them free players.
it's is a SCAM. Report them.

daflow23 · December 21, 2016 2:55PM

Yeah, I know that I should report him. Only problem is that he used another account to send me the scam message. I already reported this account but I have no evidence that it is his second account.
