User faking Stardock affiliation - SCAM Alert

from JoeUser Forums
Some "person" is sending emails from a yahoo account purporting to be from Stardock in what appears to be a rather pathetic attempt to get your user name and serial number.

Please disregard any emails you receive like the following (See full story for email). This person is not affiliated with Stardock in any way.

Ooops, I think we overcharged you. In order to correct this oversite I will need your Credit Card Number and expiration date so I can perform the chargeback.
