Yep, Scam! I highly doubt the author of PB or the PB team would ever do that. I've had them resend me my purchase e-mail once and trust me they don't need anything past your name to find all that out.

Of course it's a scam. Only a fool would send their name/password to a total
stranger with a Yahoo address. Never send your passwords to anyone, ever.

Simple rule:
Everybody how must know your passwort, know it.
No admin needs to know your passwort, because a admin kann change your passwort (and many things more).

> Just a joke
Are you saying you sent the fake message, but just as a joke? It's not funny.
