    Sounds as they gave you a free month in the hope that you would come back; nothing else. You would also not be charged until July 4th any way so your bank account will show nothing.

    Also worth noting that sometimes account thieves do this to steal stuff from currently inactive accounts if they know they might have alot on them. But if you can still log into account management etc thats probably not the case here.

    Sounds like a phising attempt, I've seen similar for other games.
    I'm assuming you checked the handy account link they perhaps supplied in the mail was legit :p

    I have gotten loads of phishing emails about world of warcraft and aion trying to get my details from me. They are telling me there's a security risk on my account or my account is going to be banned for months now. Never follow any of those links in emails and enter your account details. Go to the official account yourself instead.
