Surely this must be a scam sent to my email address

SL asking me to update my account

Dear Second Life Resident,

As announced on the Official Second Life Blog, Second Life is transitioning to a new payments processor for credit cards. Our records indicate that you use a credit card for Second Life payments and have not recently added or updated your billing information. To avoid any potential disruption of services, we strongly encourage you to re-enter your information.

Updating the billing information on your Second Life account is as easy as 1-2-3:

Login to your Second Life account at secondlife.com
Click "Account," then "Billing Information"
Under "How You're Paying" just click to Add the payment method of your choice*

Not a scam, read the blogpost here: https://community.secondlife.com/t5/Featured-News/Update-Your-Second-Life-Payment-Info-Today/ba-p/2966060

 ....

1 it doesn't ask for pw or any info by mail

2 it leads you to a real website ( verify the adress)

3 after checking the website you have to log in yourself (unless you been so uncarefull to let the browser remember the login, this is a security breach by yourself)

4 you have to remove(!) not add paymentinfo

5 still able to check the website

6 add new payment info ..

 

how much security you want?... this are more steps than a normal secure bank....

Hi Sarah,

I think it's poor form to post a link in any e-mail dealing with financial matters. You're not the only one to raise suspicions over it. When I get such poorly crafted e-mails, I do NOT use the included links, choosing instead to use my bookmarks.

In this case the e-mail is real, though I understand your suspicion.

That link does not go to the Second Life web page, but to a Facebook page.

You can check the assertion made in the email safely by manually browsing to your SL Dashboard page, logging in, and checking your credit card information.
