Hi there,
Since a few weeks I've been receiving spam on the email account that I am registered with on the Bioware Social Network (BSN). I have created this email account specifically for the purpose of registering with BSN, so I know where the spammers got my email address.
To get rid of the spam, I'd like to change the email address of my Bioware account, but this seems not to be possible. My questions are therefor:
1. Is it possible to change the email address of my BSN account?
2. If not, what happens if I delete my account? Will I still be able to play the games I bought and registered here?
Receiving SPAM on my Bioware Social Network email account

Now that you've mentioned it, I've been experiencing the same thing. I think it started two weeks ago on my end. And this concerns an e-mail address that isn't publically known or used for anything else but this website.
I'm beginning to suspect that it might be tied to the recent flood of spammers on the forums, as well as the people who seek contact directly through private and profile messages.
Either way, I'm not amused.

Same here. The email adress is only used for my DA/ME account and is getting quiet a lot of spam mails out of the sudden. Started on 29th of July, at least thats the oldest spam mail I could find in my deleted mails folder.
I thought it might have been related to the hack of the old Bioware servers (mail was sent on the 26th of June) but the strange thing is: I never registered my email on these. Never had an account at the NWN forums.
And its also highly unlikely that the email got into a spam mailing list by trial and error. The email address ist too "abnormal" for that. At least other email addresses I use for other purposes, which follow the same "pattern", are still spam free.

Likewise here. I signed up on EA using an email address created especially for this account and recently it's getting spammed, so I know for certain that the spammers got it from here.
If it carries on, I will disable that email address on the mail server and let my EA account float.

Same here, I noticed that I was getting spam on an email address I use specifically for Bioware/EA's site. This address was also never used on the old Bioware site.
