At Pogo, we want players to feel safe while enjoying their favorite games. Recently, we’ve seen an increase in scam messages that may appear in the Message Center pretending to be from Pogo or EA support. These messages are not from Pogo and may try to trick players into sharing personal information. Here are a few things to know to keep your account safe. ⚠️ Watch Out for Scam Messages Some players have reported receiving messages that include phone numbers and instructions to call for help with their account. These messages are fraudulent. Pogo will never ask you to call a phone number or provide personal information through a Message Center message. If you receive a message like this, do not respond or call the number provided. To help keep players informed, we’ve also added an Important Reminder directly on the Message Center page highlighting these safety tips. (See the example below.) ❗ Important Reminder Pogo will never ask you to: Call a phone number for account support Share your password Provide personal or financial information through messages Send account details to unknown users If a message asks for any of these things, it should be considered suspicious. 🛡 What You Should Do If you receive a suspicious message: Do not call the phone number listed Do not share any personal information Do not click any links Report the message if possible Ignoring these messages is the best way to protect yourself. 🔐 Keep Your Account Secure To help keep your Pogo account safe: Use a strong, unique password Never share your login information with anyone Only log into your account through the official Pogo website 💬 Need Help? If you ever need help with your account, the safest way to get support is through official EA Help channels. Avoid contacting any phone numbers or services that appear in messages from unknown senders. Keeping the Pogo Community Safe We appreciate players who help keep the community safe by staying alert and reporting suspicious activity. By working together, we can ensure Pogo remains a fun and secure place for everyone to play.[POGO] How to Contact EA Support

Dear Pogo Community, As part of our ongoing efforts to deliver the best possible gaming experience on Pogo, we want to share an important update regarding our game lineup. After careful consideration, we’ve made the difficult decision to retire the following games: A Way With Words Anagrams Quinn’s Aquarium These games have been a memorable part of Pogo, and we know many players have enjoyed countless puzzles, challenges, and story moments within them. We sincerely appreciate the enthusiasm, creativity, and support you’ve shared with us over the years. What This Means for You As we prepare to say goodbye, we’ll be hosting a Last Chance Sale for these titles — offering a final opportunity to enjoy your favorites before they’re officially retired. 🗓 The final day to play these games will be April 2, 2026. More details on the Last Chance Sale will be available soon, so keep an eye out for upcoming announcements. Why We’re Making This Change Retiring older titles allows us to focus our efforts on building exciting new experiences and continuing to strengthen the Pogo platform for the future. We’re committed to bringing you fresh, engaging games and can’t wait to show you what’s ahead. New Games in the Works We’re working behind the scenes on several new titles designed to offer fun, variety, and new ways to play on Pogo, including: New Game: Texas Hold ‘Em; Town Builder* New Game: Match 3; Home Builder* *Games are subject to change.
