Call Midway is the best advice I have heard. I also order from them a lot and they have always been helpful and friendly every time I have called, and I am sure they would want to know about any scams. Jim.
So if one guy doesn't set an optional password during an order, they reset all the users? That doesn't seem to be very efficient. I would imagine that they simply have a script that checks for users who have checked out without setting a password that sends an email recommending they do it so can take full advantage of the site. Especially as it seems thatIf account updated are legitimately needed, you won't be emailed. They'll logout the world en masse, and snag everyone after they log back in.
No legit company would ever send an exe as part of an email

If they need something from one guy, they'll log -him- out, and catch him on the way in.
Knowledgeable, professional site manager understand this, and will -never- do anything legitimate that looks like Phishing.
Jorg said:That is not necessarily true. Go to http://www.midwayusa.com/. Click on either View cart, Delivery Info, Wishlist or any of the categories. Look at the address, they say have exe links. Midway's site runs on a Windows server, it's not uncommon at all to have .exe extensions in the addresses.
While it's good to be wary and other people have given sound advice about going to the site directly, this time it appears to have actually originated from Midway USA. But, it's probably better to be safe than sorry.
I just checked my previous registration and orders from Midway. Each one is from "Stacey & Morgan".
And knowing that, how hard would it be for me to send you an email from "midway" asking for your contact info?
