Keeping Your Pirates Online Account Safe
May 7 2008


Many of you have probably heard of the term "phishing" - the practice of sending unsolicited e-mails under the disguise of a service provider in hopes of obtaining sensitive account information, such as usernames and passwords. These e-mails often look very official, and may even have graphic headers that are taken directly from the real service provider.

Keeping your account safe is important, and we put together some helpful tips to help with that:

• 1. If you get an unsolicited e-mail from a service provider, DO NOT REPLY. Instead, contact your service provider directly through their official Web site. You can contact Pirates of the Caribbean Online customer support by phone at 877-427-7744 or, e-mail us at [email protected].
  
  2. NEVER give out ANY personal information to anyone contacting you via e-mail. This includes your real name, your phone number, where you live, your contact information, or age. Giving your personal or online account information is not safe. It doesn't matter if you know the person outside of the game - giving out this information could compromise your account.
  
  3. Pirates Online customer support will never ask you for your account information unless you have e-mailed us at [email protected] about a problem with your account. We will NO LONGER ask for your password.
