Mistryl had this to say on the official forums:

This is not an email from PlayNC -- please don't click the link if you receive this email! As a reminder to everyone, NCsoft will never ask you for your password in an email or anywhere other than logging into PlayNC.com or a game. Emails asking for your game or PlayNC password are typically fraudulent, especially emails that claim your account or characters will be deleted.
