    Anyone else getting supercell clash related phishing emails??

    So I just received an email directly to my email address, from info.Supercell.gem@gmail.com, titled "Hi chief," and saying I could get 14,000 gems by following this link. I pasted it into incognito mode and it took me to a phishing page for my Google login. Obviously I put in a rude username and password and left

    However what concerns me is how they got my email address and knew I was a clasher. I think something has been compromised. The only clash things I have used this email address for are the clash wikia, game centre, and my Facebook account with which I liked the clash site.

    I doubt this is a one off job just for me...

    Just a heads up.

    By all accounts it is quite easy to pick this information out of FB. I have a friend whose real name is rather unique and out of the blue the other day I received an 'email' from her which was quite clearly spam. Her husband who works in IT explained how these things are picked up from FB data.

    Doesn't seem like a very good one but your choice I guess...

    There's been leaks from fb before but after being reported they are fixed. I suppose trawling the clash fb page when one of these bugs are known would do it... Anyway i guess fb or the wikia are more likely than the play store.
