Recently, we have received several reports that some players received counterfeit IGG Emails containing virus link which will cause the accounts to be hacked. For security purposes, IGG provides some methods to judge if the mails are really from IGG.

For AOL Email Users


Choose “View Message Source” in “Action” button, and it will show as below:

Check the circled part as the picture shows above to see if the email is received from igg.com

For Hotmail Users



Right click the mail and choose “View Message Source”, and it will show as below

Check the circled part as the picture shows above to see if the email is received from igg.com

For Yahoo Email Users



Right click the email and choose”View Full Headers” and it will show as below:

Check the circled part as the picture shows above to see if the email is received from igg.com

For Gmail Users



Open the email and you will see a “show details” icon on top right, click it and it will show as below:

That's one formal way to check.
The other is to just look at the links. They're probably some free domain from iran.

You know,
I've been receiving a bunch of Update your account from PAYPAL but when I check the link it's igg something something. I'm thinking about reporting it to PAYPAL and maybe the FRAUD/SCAM folks.

Who's ever doing it.. going to get BUSTED!! ROFL!!

Global Netoptex, Inc GLOBAL-NETOPTEX-4 (NET-72-172-224-0-1)  
72.172.224.0 - 72.172.255.255  HOSTING Company
Skyunion LLC SKYUNION2-GNI-OAK1 (NET-72-172-238-0-1)
72.172.238.0 - 72.172.238.127

These are the only valid ranges connected to IGG/TOP as of this date. So i real email will always be 72.172.xx.xx

its very easy to judge if its from igg or not. Just klick on the link and if you are on ur next log in naked then be sure it wasnt IGG.

=D Thanks for the tips canty! I didn't realize we could check that way xD I usually only look at the links.

@instynk My junk folder is overflowing with PayPal crap too, all linked to IGG xD

@HinkKago The whole point of this is to avoid that happening in the first place, if we did your method, it would be too late, dontcha think?
