how would they know you got the game. Send an email back asking them for some type of indication that they are really working for gamesplanet.

wait
do this: tell focus about it. ASk them if you want them to give the guy a wrong code.
They might be able to know who tried to use that wrong code, after he connects to try to activate.

I have contacted Focus about this.. Now they are aware..
Haha it wouldn't make sense because if it was from Focus then they wouldn't need my activationscode.. They could see it form their system  |

Well shame on him but now you're aware and you shouldn't even consider handing your activation key over to anyone..
If they needed to confirm you've bought the game they'll ask for you ordernumber .. not you activationkey .. So the dude who tried this is more stupid than shit .. |

You could easily tell by the gmail. A company using gmail? Please...
However, I could make an email from a domain I could buy that could be very similar to gamesplanet or whatever it is and I could fool everybody here who think only douche bags are using gmails for phishing purposes. I'ts really easy, but of course I won't do anything of it, because I'm such a nice guy. |
